Localtweeps - finding people close by

Twitter is used all over the world, and it is a great way to extend your business's reach, but sometimes you may want to reach local customers. Localtweeps allows you to list your Twitter account in their database and attach a zip or postal code to it. You can look for users in a certain locale by zip, or browse by city, state (or province). Conversely, users looking for your particular service can enter a zip code and find you!

In addition, you can connect with other local businesses in your area for networking and partnership opportunities, etc. Right now the service is only supporting the U.S. and Canada , but they plan to expand service to include other countries in the future.

Get listed and get found!

  1. Andi - Thanks for a great post on localtweeps! Local matters, and we've developed our directory to help people and businesses on Twitter find (and get found) locally.

    We just released an event creation tool that makes it easy to create and tweet events. Events created on localtweeps also display in the city listings. It's a great way to spread the word to followers and other local tweeps. Check it out: http://localtweeps.com/Create/Event/ There's more to come!

    Best,
