Instead of thinking about picking up customers on a rolling basis think about creating uploading entire yellow page directories.

I think Twitter partnering with already established local brands such as Citysearch or eats.com is a great idea to combine all the tweets with their local content. Seems Twitter would be smart to hire someone like you! Great article Steve.

You can register to be "whitelisted", which raises the limit to 20k requests/hour, but this is dependent on Twitter approving your application in advance.

This all sounds a bit tenuous - there are already directory sites out there like this. Maybe the problem with social networks is you just can't monetise them in a way that lives up to the hype. http://goodadbadad.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/a-social-media-bubble/ Just plug twitter SERPs into the top of your google SERPs using a plugin if you want to use twitter as a local search.
