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.

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 rarely enjoy Mr McBride's jabs at Greg.

I didn't know that MZMcBride made regular jabs. I was under the impression that MZM made some sort of ballsy defense of Thekohser on Wikipedia, which led to something or another. Details hazy in my mind.

Anyhow, I would stop (just) short of calling it "creepy," but this obsession is certainly Thekohser's least attractive feature on Wikipedia Review.

Well, if I'm "creepy", you're "creepy minus 1" for being nearly obsessed with pointing out how often I point out how silly Jimmy Wales is.

You want me to switch to another subject or something, like the Detroit Lions, or maybe online gambling?

Here's something I am honestly curious about -- out of my last X threads started, what percentage have their topical focus on Jimbo alone? Since you're nearly obsessed with it, could you do the math for me, One?

Or (just) short of creepy minus One, as the case may be.

I'm not really interested in the question, but if you ask nicely, I might make a chart. I don't think it consumes your life or anything, just that it tends to be your least interesting commentary.

I'm surprised at your silence on the Armando Galarraga perfect game heist.

More famous for being "robbed" than he would have ever been for having a perfect game.
