Kind of ruins a lot of the point looking for a trending topic?? For example, I was to find #HIS. Instead of anything coming up about hospital systems, all I get are search results for the word "his". Plus, the whole reason I came to this site to begin with was to use RSS feeds as mentioned in http://mashable.com/2009/04/22/twitter-search-services/ This service was taken away?

That means people who want to get the 60 and 90 day trends have a very difficult time looking at them. It would be good for us if you would make the 60 and 90 day trends available without logging in until the connection with twitter works better. I really like you program. It is great. I am using it in the classes I am teaching on new media and politics. But I am frustrated by not being able to get 60 and 90 days. Login with twitter works less than half the time.

A simple app would do the trick. And then a simple search for the timezone in question and I would have a list to work from. So I wish I didn't broadcast the conclusion you put forth. Oh well.

You can specify a timezone that does not match your location. The <a href="http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-Search-API-Method%3A-search" rel="nofollow">Twitter API</a> documents this. It doesn't offer a way to search by timezone, but you can search by location. This aside, the point is that it would be stupid to search Twitter hoping to physically locate twitterers who don't want to be found. It's much easier to tap into local communication lines and eavesdrop. Location and timezone are independent on Twitter. You can specify a timezone that does not match your location.
