Twitter Location Search
Why You May Want to Do a Twitter Location Search
No other social media app, other than Facebook, is used more than Twitter. Users are continually tweeting and commenting on their feeds as well as those of others. While most of these tweets are mundane, some contain valuable information, either explicitly or inferred. An increasing number of organizations would like to have this information for one reason or another. If you are a marketer or conducting research, what is the best way to access this information in an organized way?
Perhaps more than most social media sites, Twitter generates the most data in rapid fashion, probably because each tweet must be concise. While you can see tweets from anyone, you must use specific technology to filter them into a usable social media data set. Some social media monitoring tools alert you when your brand is mentioned on social media, but there is plenty more valuable information within these tweets than just a brand mention or retweet. Among many details, tweets can tell you user sentiment, intent, preferences, activity and location. Getting to this data that matters most to you and your organization requires sophisticated technology.
Twitter Location Search Has Its Benefits:
- Find data specific to Twitter and user location: Twitter is a quick way for users to post content about themselves and their interests, generating a massive amount of data. Filtering your results by location allows you to concentrate on the tweets with real meaning rather than the big social data that often overwhelms.
- Monitor or engage with Twitter users in a certain location: If you are in marketing or sales and need to monitor or reach Twitter users in a particular location, say in close proximity to your business, being able to search Twitter users in your area is a great way to focus your attention and messaging.
