Twitter reportedly is testing Nearby, a new timeline feature for its mobile app that displays tweets from people who are geographically close. Both the users viewing the tweets and those tweeting must have their location tagging option enabled for the feature to work.

It reportedly will display some interesting map-based visuals as well — showing the user’s location at the top and the feed of nearby Twitter users at the bottom.
