How do I create a localised search in Twitter and provide an automated response.?

[Darren]

You can do the search as follows on the Twitter search page type the following into the search box:

http://search.twitter.com

toothache near:"London, GB" within:15mi

You would need to script and have a computer running to "listen" for anyone using the keywords that you script. Twitter provides an API to do this, link below:

How exactly you would do this would take a bit of work and not really easy to explain in this forum. Before you ask, I wouldn't be interested in taking on this work but maybe someone out there might be.

You could try Ben Marsh who is a Twitter Developer based in Leicestershire, his web site and contact details are here:
