GeoChirp: Geo-targeted Twitter Search

I came across a great little service this morning from one of our readers who commented on one of our other articles. They recommended that we check out the Twitter service called Geochirp. GeoChirp is a great web app that allows you to see who is talking about what in what location, all via Twitter.

With GeoChirp you input your location and then set the radius and the number of tweets you want to be able to see. Once that is all done GeoChirp finds people from that location and shows you their tweets. GeoChirp also hooks in to Google Maps which allows you to exactly see where that person is based.

GeoChirp is a very interesting idea however apart from providing basic entertainment purposes im not too sure why a lot of people who use this in their daily lives.
