Atlanta among the Top-Ranked Twitter Users in the Nation

Here, in Atlanta, we are known for our lush magnolia trees, our warm southern hospitality, and our beautiful skyline, but we are becoming increasingly known as a top-ranked city for Twitter usage. Now, it might have something to do with our savvy business sense, or just maybe, because we are southerners and we love to talk, but we have combined these two passions and become a leader in our nation’s use of Twitter.

According to influential Twitter.grader.com, Atlanta is ranked #5 in the world in active Twitter usage. Impressive. Clearly, we know and understand the advantages and influence of social media and we strive daily to develop our contacts and increase our market share.

Top Tweeters

But, Atlanta is not the only city jumping on the social media bandwagon to capitalize on the power of Twitter. The April 2011 issue of Men’s Health magazine lists Washington, D.C. as the nation’s top Twitter capital. This was based on a survey of the 100 best and worst town for Twittering.  

It is no surprise the people of our nation’s capital lead the charge in Twitter usage. The influence and sway of social media cannot be denied. Subtle texts that convey emotion, sentiment, and personal opinion can influence and increase a person’s or businesses profile or brand.

Social networking and social media brings the message to the masses and Twitter has become an increasingly popular way to reach a set of followers. They can be established clients, interested persons who have been introduced to your company through other social media outlets, or it can be a person just interested in what you have to promote. Either way, you can flex some serious muscle with the power of Twitter.

Twitter Power

Throughout the world, Twitter increases its dominance of social media. Businesses are increasingly connecting with their customers via Twitter and establishing contacts with customers to increase their market share.

In a recent online article, it discussed the evolution of Twitter and researched who was using Twitter. They reviewed a study by The Pew Research Centre and concluded there was a significant increase in Twitter traffic amongst African-Americans and Latino users. The report stated Latinos and African-Americans were twice as likely as their white counterpart to use Twitter. The report concluded urban residents as well were more likely to follow Twitter as were people living in rural areas.    

These are interesting findings and as more research is conducted into social media usage, we will continue to see how social media is working its way into our culture. As each city embraces Twitter, the United States will continue to dominate Twitter usage as companies look to increasing their market share with social media. 

And, with Atlanta being one of the foremost cities in the United States, we can be assured of a high ranking in any poll conducted. So, we will Tweet you there!
