On Tuesday, The Globe and Mail reported on Twitter’s quarterly “State of the Twittersphere” report which ranked Toronto 8th out of the top 30 locations on Twitter.

Although we already all had a pretty good idea that Toronto was a strong competitor on having the most addicted Twitter users in the world, we now have the final word from a fairly reliable source to back it up.  The ranking isn’t a direct measurement of Twitter usage by city, but is instead measured by what’s written in the Location field of users’ profiles.

The top ranking included:

1. London
2. United States
3. San Francisco
4. New York
5. Chicago

Canada ranked 13th on the list.

Toronto Twitter users know that they are some of the most “dedicated” users of the service.  In Toronto and across Canada, we constantly seem to be featured in the trending topics on Twitter Search.  From having conversations online on the latest news from the coalition, to organizing and discussing add-hoc events such as HoHoTo, which raised more that $10,000 for the Daily Bread Food Bank, or letting the world know of our battle with the evil winter villain known as #Snowmageddon.

Next year I’m sure Toronto will be less productive, and Twittering more than ever!  Toronto will show “London” who has the most dedicated users.
