Very cool! Will Twitter Search be changed to use the new geo-tweet info? Right now if you search for "near=Boston,MA" it seems to be mostly (only?) looking at a user's location field. I'd be curious to know if Twitter Search will be the best place to determine tweets within a given area and how Search will behave if my "location" is set to Boston, but my tweet georss is in SF, for example.
