Show HN - A tweetmeme of its own for every city

This is interesting, but looking at the NYC one, your "Xpert Tweeters" really distort the idea of "local".

I'm seeing tons of national news from the WSJ, the NBA, and a score of other media outlets that are based in New York but not covering New York (aside from incidentals, e.g., that Wall Street is a street in Manhattan).

Also, as you expand, it might be worth while to drill down NYC by borough. Having a Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and even Hoboken NJ page would probably be worthwhile both for your users, and for you.

Yup, have heard that one a couple of times already, we are going to take care of that one VERY soon. Plan to aggregate tweets at country/global level too going forward, so have to do it in a way that we remove them from the city but not lose them totally.

Check out some of the deals, events etc, though. Good "democratized" info (I hope:)), including things that would never make it through standard aggregators.

Yup, some Xpert tweeter they talk about whole world (generic) but keep there location set to some particular city, which mess up data a bit, we have already found a solution for this problem, changes will be rolled out soon :)
