Twitter Testing Proximity-Based Event Alerts
Building on the news we shared yesterday that Twitter is testing a “TV Trending” feature for some users, it appears that Twitter is also trying out alerts for live events happening nearby.
Here’s what the alerts look like, and more details.
As TechCrunch reports, the proximity-based event alerts appear to be organized around hashtags, similar to the “TV Trending” feature.
What you see is a box at the top of your timeline with a hashtag for the event with its distance from you, an emblematic tweet related to the event, and a link to a longer list of tweets mentioning that hashtag.
