Best "pivot" I've seen :)
Great idea, I'm getting undefined as much as real answers so far...
Is there a way of specifying UK only? How do you get past the twitter API limits?

Thanks for trying it out - we've pushed a fix that should address the undefined bug.
We're still US only right, sorry! We'd have to start geolocating tweets to provide support for other countries.
We're currently operating within the limits.
Best,

Cool, thanks for your reply. You could use the hash tag #pricecheckUK or #pricecheck and #uk or something when you decide to branch out. Also do you have a plan for when you do start reaching the limits?
I presume the domain redirects to a Twitter feed, as I get a Twitter account suspended message :/
Since the account is suspended, what did it do?
Should be fixed now!
Is the site working?
