Wow, that is awesome. What is up with Rio being a third (or more) of the overall network volume?

EDIT: I guess since it's the percentage of geolocated tweets the most likely answer is that the most popular Portuguese client geolocates by default.

There's a been a press release for a study on erectile dysfunction in Brazilian men and now it's a trending topic.

Based on the portuguese trending topics, it looks like Ronaldinho isn't going to be playing soccer in Teofilo Ottoni.

Edit: It's extraordinarily difficult to find the signal of the original story amongst the noise of Portuguese tweets saying "lol, erectile dysfunction is a trending topic!"

Perhaps someone with a better handle on tweet mining can get to the bottom of this.

Rio, 10 million people, and Sao Paulo, 1 hour by plane, 20 million people.

When I checked Rio was number one by a large margin, which Indonesia being second. It'd be nice I could click on it and see some of the tweets so I could get some idea why.
