actually, Adam Rakunas, Los Angeles has the third-highest rate of Twitter addiction in the U.S., according to Twitterlocal. So, yes Los Angeles.

When I did Ironman New Zealand last month, I handed my phone to a friend and had him send race updates to my Twitter account so the family back home could see that I was still alive.

i'm slow and behind in this whole twittering thing. the term "tweet" is new to my dictionary, but I'm slowly picking it up. kinda fun~ but I don't like to use SMS texting, nor my cell phone have any web access, so I just tweet through my FB account nowadays~

Yeah, I'm pretty wary of followers I have no idea who they are. That said, I often try not to tweet where I'm at unless it's truly a public place. My fav is to tweet from public meetings and quote government officials. Also, I just started playing with http://twitpic.com/ so I can take photos with my camera phone and e-mail them to twitter. It's pretty amazing to take a photo and have over 50 people potentially looking at it all within a minute.

I I think the most fun I've had with it so far was when I sat at a meeting (that I was not working for) and added my two cents every two minutes or so. The funniest part was that as soon as I sent over my message, two people in the room rustled with their phones. Afterwards someone wanted to double check that I was actually twittering and not just texting him for the fun of it. However - I do get a little nervous when people I don't recognize set to be a "follower" The good far outweighs the paranoia. And, if you need to know what I said - it is in my archive. It's mostly about how my shoes were killing me, and that I was hungry.
