Tweeting local picks in San Francisco and New York

Donald McMillan VP of Social Media at Schmap introduces a local Twitter app…

I thought you might like to take a look at our latest beta, a ‘Local Picks’ Twitter app, releasing to coincide with this year’s Where 2.0 Conference:

For a given city (in this case, San Francisco), the service:

a) Retweets Twitter user comments about local restaurants and bars.

b) Lets Twitter users tweet their own restaurants and bar picks.

In both cases, these local tweets have added mobile-friendly map links (like this one: www.schmap.me/9nk6yk ) - useful for followers who want to visit a new restaurant or bar.

If you’d like to see how easy it is to tweet a San Francisco pick, please try this at:

The equivalent link for tweeting a New York pick is:

Going forward, plans for this new service include integration with our Geotweeter iPhone app:
