Twitter announced this week that it has launched Local Trends to expose people to what’s happening on state and city levels. According to Twitter’s blog, Local Trends will allow users to learn more about the nuances in the world and discover more-relevant topics that are happening in their areas. For now, about 15 cities and a handful of countries are available. Twitter says that it will add more locations, languages and data over time.

This should be very beneficial for local businesses, as it will help them reach more-relevant customers on the site.
