This application just sucks. It takes forever to load, and it doesn't offer any kind of accuracy measurements. If you search for people in Amsterdam for example and go to their profiles, you see that they actually wrote things like "Saturn" or "Moon", but still Geochirp shows them as being from Amsterdam. It doesn't offer any additional information when compared to twitter search, and in fact what you get is a delay compared to Twitter search. Why would anyone use this??

@Aaron - about the time delay we have been working on server load optimization and the app is much much faster now. Will keep the users posted on any other features we might add. Hope those additions make the experience more pleasant for you.

It's cool to find out if there are someone say the things you want to know near you, but i fail to see the top tweeple in my area, maybe there is nobody uses twitter in my area?

It's super slow, and it doesn't show people that I know are in my area. Not very handy at all. Still no love for Geofollow... the ultimate local Twitter Directory :(

Well - I see much of the discussion is now on all blogs is around real time search.Geochirp adds to the list.
Trendsspotting has made some interesting predictions on real time search hype
Not sure if Geochirp is one among those startups who wont be able to live upto the real time search hype.

Great find, a cool simple app. You might also want to check out socialseek (getsocialseek.com). We released it last week and there's been some great reviews so far.
Thanks, Jaafer
