Same for many 650ers. It's the 415 crowd that really drives Twitter. @ Eric - people in 510 tend not to fall for the bufoonery as much and 408 types tend to be a bit more focused and less pie in the sky.

Evan is already in the hole $4 MM so he better make out well on Twitter. They should sell Twitter soon while the hype is hot and before everyone realizes that it's a flash in the pan that no one outside of the 415 and 650 area codes cares about. @ w2i - No you read it right.
