London is Twitter’s top city

twitter-logo.jpgThe UK is second only to the US in Twitter usage, with London topping the chart, according to Evan Williams, interviewed for BBC2’s Newsnight program.

Although official statistics aren’t available, the BBC’s research suggests that an estimated three million Brits joined Twitter in the past year, with as many signing up to follow friends as to keep tabs on their favorite celebrities.

Williams played down the accusation that Twitter could lead to the breakdown of community, saying that anyone who believed that obviously hadn’t used the service.

The BBC also suggested that the Ministry of Defence had encouraged their military personnel to use Twitter.
