Over on the Praized product blog, we just announced the launch of our new product TwitArea. Built with the Praized platform on a Firefox add-on, this new Twitter.com application allows users to easily insert and share local place information when tweeting. Think of it as “TwitPic for places”.

Developed in only two weeks from concept to live version, TwitArea showcases the great flexibility of our social local platform and continues our mission of facilitating social media conversations about local places while helping local media publishers generate traffic from social media sites.
