"Twitter has begun rolling out location-based trending topics.  \nThe product is officially called Local Trends.  In a statement to us, Twitter said the following:\n\"We're rolling out local trends to 1 percent of users today, but we'll share more information when it reaches a larger audience hopefully sometime next week. We'll keep you posted when that happens.\"\nThe pictures below, courtesy of @lisabarone, show the new feature in all of its glory.  Scroll past them for more information on the new Twitter feature.\nScreenshots: Local Trends\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Info\nCurrently, only a few users have access to the feature (I don't have it yet), but it should be rolling out to everybody soon.\nHere's what we can tell you:\n\n- Local Trends allows you to set a specific location, so that you can see the trends around you.  Most of the time, this would be your home.  However, it looks like you can change it on-the-fly if you're traveling, for example.\n- Clicking on Local Trends gives you a list of different cities and countries in which you can view trends.  It's a limited list so far \u2014 only 15 U.S. cities are supported.\n- You can access these trending topics from Twitter.com, on the right-hand column.\n- A full rollout should occur sometime next week, if testing goes smoothly.\n\nWe think this is a logical and smart move, especially in the wake of the rise of location-based service such as Foursquare.  We'll have more analysis soon."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
