How many people in Utah use twitter?
Last week the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported that 8% of American adults who use the internet also use twitter. For many, this number was much higher than expected. It turns out twitter is especially popular among young adults, minorities, and city-dwellers. This report came on the heel’s of twitter’s own announcement that […]
What the #Aggielife? An analysis of Aggies on Twitter

It’s no secret that I’m a proud alum of Utah State University, class of 2010. In the 17 months since I left school I have watched in awe at the explosive growth in the number of Aggies on Twitter. A year ago, there were maybe a dozen students who even occasionally logged in. Now […]

Concentration of Utah Twitter users
September 10, 2011
by brysonwhite
So where exactly are Utah’s Twitter users located? I put this heat map together using data from Twellow.com. The data are definitely far from perfect, but I think the general picture painted is correct: Salt Lake and Utah counties are leading the pack (and this makes sense given their large populations). Perhaps Moab is the […]

The Tale of a Twitter Convert
April 20, 2011
by brysonwhite
This is a guest post by Jared Fulgham I decided to write this post about my Twitter “conversion” story. My relationship with Twitter hasn’t always been the best. If there are any readers who are not currently using this tool, hopefully they will not make the mistakes that I did. I am fairly new to the whole […]
I'm moving to New York (but stopping in Utah first!)
April 16, 2011
by brysonwhite
a personal rambling by @brysonwhite. While I’ve tried to keep my posts as much about you (and Utah) and as little about me as possible, today I can’t resist. Yesterday, my wife (@misskristywhite) and I made a pretty big decision. We will be moving to New York City this fall while she attends graduate school […]

My favorite Utah tech/social media blogs
March 26, 2011
by brysonwhite
I like local stuff, even when it comes to technology. Sure, I still read Mashable and Tech Crunch, but I’m just as interested in what’s happening along the Wasatch Front (don’t ask me why. I have no idea). Here are a few Utah social media, tech, marketing and digital communications blogs I read to stay […]

by brysonwhite
Since I wasn’t actually able to attend the speech by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg at BYU today, I thought I’d compile a list of some of the best articles about the speech. Fortunately, I was able to follow along using the hashtag #ZuckUT and there were a few kind souls who streamed the event from […]

The Hungry Hive has highlighted five of these organizations […]
Amazing Grace: New extension developed in Utah shortens URLs directly from Twitter
March 21, 2011
by brysonwhite
Several weeks ago Tech Crunch reported on a rumored URL shortener that would have the ability to shorten URL’s directly from Twitter’s status bar. This report sent some in the tech world a flutter. Would we finally be able to simply paste a URL in twitter and shorten it from there, without having to use a […]

This article is just a repost from http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/032111_Twitter_Completes_Migration_to_Utah_Data_Center. The report may or may not be true. The “twitter engineering blog” referenced in the article makes no mention of utah but instead states that twitter has moved a few things around to increase reliabilty. This doesn’t neccesariy mean they’ve made it out to Utah. Yet. (WEB HOST […]
