oops, looks like my prior comment didn’t get through:

I calculated tweets per thousand for Portland; the top ranked city, Tokyo; and the city ranked just higher than Portland, Toronto:

Tokyo 1.13
Toronto 1.57
Portland 6.84

On a per capita basis, it’s not even close.

Add San Francisco into the mix and things get interesting. Tweets per thousand:

Portland (city) 6.84
San Francisco (city) 1.62

But our metro populations are different. Including Hillsboro and Gresham waters down Portland’s stats immensely while the inclusion of Silicon Valley bumps up the Bay’s numbers a bit.

San Francisco (metro) 1.71
Portland (metro) 1.66

I consider Portland the per capita champion. When we tell people they should move to Portland, we don’t mean that they should move to Milwaukie or Tigard. Portland means PORTLAND (sorry outliers). But when we talk of San Francisco, especially in terms of technology, we very much mean Santa Clara, Mountain View, Menlo Park etc.

I calculated tweets per thousand for Portland; the top city, Tokyo; and the city ranked just above Portland, Toronto (from population figures on Wikipedia).

Tokyo 1.13
Toronto 1.57
Portland 6.84

On a per capita basis, it’s not even close.
