Thanks for publishing this information. There is another thread
discussing the issue with the Geocode search not respecting the radius
of a search here:
http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/a80db3eff77a88fe
>From that thread ticket 1930 was filed on our issue tracker which we
will update when a fix is deployed:
http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1930
I understand your reasons for the location tracking using the Search
API but wondered if you knew that the mentions search you are doing
can be carried out on using the Streaming API filter method. That
should cut down on the number or REST queries you need to make. More
information on that method is here:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#statuses-filter
Out of curiosity what is the third column of your figures represent?
It may be possible to track that one using the Streaming API as well.
