Last week Twitter began to slowly roll out a new feature called Local Trends to expose what people are talking about on the state and city level, and now they have fully launched so everyone can use it.

Once you set your location, Local Trends allows you to see what conversational trends are popular nearby. Changing your location immediately updates the list of trending topics in the right-hand sidebar of your Twitter.com home display.

Twitter currently has a limited number of options to choose from in terms of location but they are working on adding more. It has been mentioned in the Twitter blog that they will be improving this feature over time to provide more locations, languages, and data through their API.

Local Trends will allow you to learn more about the nuances in our world and discover even more relevant topics that might matter to you.
