This is interesting, but looking at the NYC one, your "Xpert Tweeters" really distort the idea of "local".
I'm seeing tons of national news from the WSJ, the NBA, and a score of other media outlets that are based in New York but not covering New York (aside from incidentals, e.g., that Wall Street is a street in Manhattan).
Also, as you expand, it might be worth while to drill down NYC by borough. Having a Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and even Hoboken NJ page would probably be worthwhile both for your users, and for you.
- kalkat 15y agoYup, have heard that one a couple of times already, we are going to take care of that one VERY soon. Plan to aggregate tweets at country/global level too going forward, so have to do it in a way that we remove them from the city but not lose them totally. Check out some of the deals, events etc, though. Good "democratized" info (I hope:)), including things that would never make it through standard aggregators.
- gayakwad 15y agoYup, some Xpert tweeter they talk about whole world (generic) but keep there location set to some particular city, which mess up data a bit, we have already found a solution for this problem, changes will be rolled out soon :)
