Tweekend Reading II


Where's Twitter following grew by two thirds this week...an impressive jump, but I know there are still some stragglers out there. The site is extremely fun, and truly a very social form of the much-vaunted (but often-lacking) "social media"...there are many urbanism tête-à-têtes to be had. Come join! And if you're already following, I'd definitely appreciate it if you'd consider alerting your friends on this fine Follow Friday.

TWEET ONE: Just saw a forlorn banner for Chicago 2016. In this weather, makes me wanna go to Rio.

TWEET TWO: Best map of the year so far - Netflix patterns by city: http://bit.ly/4VY8tf Thanks @tombellino!

That's all for this week, folks. If you have a Twitter account (or are thinking about creating one - do it!) you can follow Where @thewhereblog. If you're staunchly anti-Twitter but still want to keep up with Where's daily urbanist musings, you can subscribe to the RSS feed of my tweets. See you around!
