Location-based features are becoming par for the course in Twitter apps, so the idea of a Twitter app whose unique selling point is location may, at first glance, look a bit unnecessary.

However, Tweetsii is an interesting attempt to do something new – encouraging you to checkout tweets near your location more often, and associating them with places like bars, gig venues and tourist hotspots. In that sense, it’s like a Twitter app crossed with social location apps like Foursquare – you can even ‘check in’ to places as you can with Foursquare.

It might not tempt you away from ‘Tweetie 2’ or ‘Tweetdeck’ as yet, but it is definitely a worthy contender.
