Dallas’ social media scene is all a'twitter over a recent national ranking.
Men’s Health magazine earlier this week published its national rankings of the top 100 U.S. cities and their residents’ use of social media. Twitter, of course, weighed in heavily to the equation as did respective numbers of Facebook and LinkedIn users; binary traffic flowing on Myspace — is that still a thing? — Friendster, Reddit, and Digg; and visits to chat rooms.
The magazine did not reveal what kinds of chat rooms it checked.
Anyway, Dallas earned a solid B+ on the social networking exam, earning its rank as the 16th most active in the United States. Fort Worth, by way of comparison, received a disappointing D at No. 81, so it’s no TV for you this weekend, Cowtown. Houston got a C+ ranking at 48, but who cares?
El Paso brought up the national social networking rear at No. 100, so, hmm, apparently drug runners keep their networking on the down low.
