Twitter.com has a new feature that allows you to disclose the location from which your tweet is twittering.

It looks like Jimbo Wales tried out the feature on a recent post. Now, when you learn where his location was, it might strike you as a bit funny -- indeed, it may even make you twitter. Jimbo doesn't like people giggling at him, so it's possible he will exercise his right to...

QUOTE
You may delete all location information from your past tweets.
This may take up to 30 minutes.


Therefore, we have helped to keep free information open and free, posting Jimbo's self-disclosed location here for posterity.

Jimbo's Twitter account posted from "Golden Acres" in Dunedin, Florida.

Apart from the somewhat unsightly water tower, that's a rather nice trailer park, even by Florida's high standards for trailer parks! You're living the life, Jimbo, aren't you? We're glad you've landed on your feet after Christine kicked you out of the old house. I wonder if you're on a rent-to-own contract?


By the way, just to test how accurate is this Twitter geo-location feature, I gave it a try, and it properly pegged me to my correct township location, despite living quite close to its southern boundary.

This is like the 1,000th Jimmy Wales-related topic you've started. I can't decide if you're bored, obsessed, creepy, or some combination of the three. I'm considering staging an intervention.

um, since this is a Wikipedia Criticism site...and Jimbo has something to do with Wikipedia...I would think that this is pretty much on topic....and living in a trailer park kinda goes against the "rock star" lifestyle that the media likes to grant to Mr. Wales.

How about you do an actual count of all the topics I've started here at WR, then you count all that are Jimmy Wales-related, and then we'll assess whether or not I need a "WR intervention" or a "Jimmy Wales-related on WR intervention"?

I'm pretty sure there are parts of Dunedin which aren't in a trailer park. (Residential parts, that is - I know there's the stadium there where the Blue Jays play their spring training.)

I'm also pretty sure there are rock stars that have a trailer park as their "sole residence". After all, if you're a rock star, you're pretty much a transient anyway.


Nevermind. Misread your post.

Okay, this totally invites the question of whether he actually LIVES there, or just happens to be sleeping with a trailer-trashperson at the moment. Might be visiting dear old mom, for all we know.

Rooms to get, pretty cheap.

Damn right. "Slumming", outside of urban areas, generally involves trailer parks. Many trailer parks offer broadband wifi these days.

Face it, Greg: Jimmy Wales is the Tiger Woods of the interwebs. He's always gonna get more pootintang than, say, you (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif).

No, no, that's for the fine Canadian tail. The trailer sort, just shoot you. We'll have to watch COPS, or American Justice. However, I believe it's the case that women who shoot people don't get their own BLPs if they're in any way related to WMF. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ermm.gif)

Considering the name also, the whole thing seems to certered around low-income retirement stuff.

Probably it is mom. Though still true Jimbo's always gunna get more 'tang than you, Greg. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

You'd think Jimbo would want his mom to live in a highly individualistic and bold architectural statement of some sort, surely?

Well, surely he also wants to maintain some sort of connection to "the little people". Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he parked his mom in a trailer to get some "street cred".

After all, I can't imagine his mom was all too thrilled with the porn search thing, and we all know how well he treats people who disagree with him.

I thought you were more familiar with the Randroid mentality than that? As Ayn might have said, the little people deserve their littleness, simply by virtue of their lack of bigness.

Or because he is a mean b'tard who knows about how to give back to people as little as possible (nothing) who made him (mothers and Wikipedia contributors) ... May be his ex-wife's published opinion is more to the point.

Hold on ... this is the guy that makes five figured speaking fees ($x0,000) and you are saying his mom lives in a trailer park? Does she know what her son does? Can this confirmed? The whole area is Google mapped so you can take a drive around.

Meanwhile ... over at Hunch.com where Jimmy of Dunedin, FL is a board director, he is worth 27,065 banjos for his 22 contributions (certainly more banjos than Greg too). He tells us that he "Supports curiosity and innovation in the child" ... which probably explains why he is so keen to have his educational Encyclopedia to be filled full of amateur porn and pederastry.
