Lubbock Tweeters on the Map!

It is nice to see Lubbock on the map for something positive for a change. Instead of it being about the city arresting Chippendale’s dancers or its sometimes blustery wind and lack of greenery…this time it was for making a blip on the Twitter scene during the Super Bowl. Considering the fact the number of those tweeting from Lubbock pales in comparison to larger cities…this was pretty cool. Of course as you move through the game time line there is a curious change in the topic…
Let’s see it started out at 7:15 with the following string of tweets:
superbowlads
return
ad
thank
commercial
yeah
watch
ad
watch
ads
Hulu
commercials
safety
…and then at 8:42….
damn
…and then again at 8:49…
damn
This was the only four-letter word recorded from the twitterverse on the map. I’m not making a judgment here…I just find it extremely entertaining! Now that I think about it though, is this a positive thing to be noted for? Or do I need to file it under the Lubbock Negative News category! Your thoughts?

Great looking blog. And yeah for Lubbock Tweeps!
Well at least we were well behaved for most of the game. I think if you go back and look,the “damns” show up when the Cardinals threw an interception at the end of the first half. Does that get us off the hook?
