HUDSON COUNTY — Don’t understand Twitter yet? Basically, you type in very short updates on your life, or thoughts of the day, in 160 characters or less, and people who’ve chosen to “subscribe” to you get alerts or emails about it. You usually just go to www.twitter.com to sign up. In fact, you can receive “Tweets” from all the Hudson Reporter newspapers!
Anyway, a communications firm in North Jersey sent out a release Monday announcing that Hudson has the most Twitter users in New Jersey:
Hudson County has the highest concentration of Twitter users in New Jersey, according to Twitter New Jersey, a first-of-its kind report compiled by Jaffe Communications of Westfield, NJ on the widespread use of the popular social media platform in New Jersey.
Hudson County’s ‘Twitter Density’ is 6.51 users per 1,000, closely followed by Essex County, which has 6.31 users per 1,000, according to the report released today. Twitter Density shows the concentration of registered Twitter users in a certain geographic area.
The report also looked at municipalities in New Jersey with the highest concentration of Twitter users. Milford Borough in Hunterdon County had the highest Twitter Density with 64.1 users per 1,000 followed by Cape May City with 35.8, the Princetons with 33.8 users per 1,000, Hoboken with 28.6 and Flemington with 24.6.
Okay, congratulations…but what are “The Princetons?” There are a few Windsors, but as far as we know, only one Princeton. Princeton Junction, maybe? But that’s not really a town. Well, anyway, please go to www.twitter.com and subscribe to your local Hudson Reporter newspaper for updates!
Anyway, Jersey City, New Jersey’s second largest city, ranked 35th with 2,010 users, or 8.3 per 1,000.
