In the ongoing Twitter vs. Facebook war, one of the main advantages Facebook has is that it is very localized. You belong to a certain geographical network, and you usually stay there. Twitter is much more broad, and sometimes it can seem just too big. Localtweeps is one solution to this issue. The site allows a user to find fellow twitterers near them by entering their zip code in a search. The results include people from your town and neighboring cities. You can also post events and promote special offers to those in your city — a definite plus for blossoming friends and business owners alike. An important point to acknowledge before you begin is that you must have your Twitter settings set to “unprotected,” or else you cannot participate at all. Localtweeps is like a giant online community block party, so start mingling!
