From the article:
"'We've spent the past two and a half years building a product that helps you answer the question: 'What’s happening nearby right now?' Every time we’ve experimented and looked beyond local discovery, we’ve been amazed by the breadth and quality of content shared on Twitter. By joining forces with Twitter, we can do so much more to help you find interesting, timely, and useful information about what’s happening around you,' Spindle wrote in the post."
