Twitter launches Plymouth 'Trends'

Plymouth is one of 160 cities around the world to benefit from Twitter's launch of 'Trends' today in 160 more cities around the world.

From today people in Plymouth will be able to get closer to things going on in their area, alongside more than 160 other locations around the world.

Twitter said: "Regional Trends give you a great flavour of what’s happening in different parts of the UK and if you’re new to Twitter, you might also like to follow some of these Twitter accounts linked to these new Trends cities for inspiration.

"For example, Olympic diving star Tom Daley (@TomDaley1994) is from the city, and you can follow Dartmoor Zoo (@DartmoorZoo) for regular animal snaps and all the latest zoo news.

"Trends are an easy way to find out what people are talking about right now –– around the world, in your country, or in your city. By checking out Trends, you can easily find breaking news and current hot topics that are most relevant to you.

"By viewing Trends in these cities, it’s easier than ever before to find out what’s going on in your area and to get involved in the conversations. You can browse any of these locations by clicking “Change” in the Trends sidebar at Twitter.com."

The other nine UK locations are: Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, Stoke-on-Trent, Coventry, Swansea, Hull, Blackpool, Preston, and Derby.

Twitter say: "To make Trends more convenient and relevant for people around the world, we’re constantly working to bring Trends to more locations –– be on the lookout for even more in the future. In the meantime, don’t hesitate to check out our support article on Trends for more information."
