Twitter has acquired Spindle: stakes and opportunities around local search.

Twitter progressively, develops its ecosystem by diversifying its activities. The recent acquisition is part of this dynamic. Spindle,
the American startup joins Twitter.  

‘’We’ve spent the past two and a half years building a product that helps you answer the question: “What’s happening nearby right now?” Every time we’ve experimented and looked beyond local discovery, we’ve been amazed by the breadth and quality of content shared on Twitter. By joining forces with Twitter, we can do so much more to help you find interesting, timely, and useful information about what’s happening around you.’’ Said the Spindle Team.

Henceforth the Spindle team will be relocating and joining the Twitter team in San Francisco. This also means that, Twitter suspends the Spindle service, with the goal to integrate it on Twitter as soon as it is possible.
