Twitter Proves (once again) the Techy-Comic connection

If you live in San Diego you likely know that the town is being taken over by Darth Vader credit card holders, people who will argue about Spiderman’s divorce, and Fanboys (for PC reasons shouldn’t it be Fanpeople?) of all ages.  Comic-Con 2008 is officially here.

The event is entirely sold out and if you work near the convention center be prepared for the influx in traffic.  The crazy traffic is what got me asking “Who are these people that are flocking to SD and skipping work for a comic book based event?”  I decide to search it out (kinda like Ari Gold with a Google box) to answer my question.  Well It took me one search to figure it out…..The majority of these people are some for of techies.  And here is the search that got me to that conclusion: TweetScan-Comic Con.  This leads to pages upon pages of people talking about going to comic con or being jealous of those who are.

A vast majority of the people on Twitter (or those who are really active in it) have some tech connection.  These people either code, blog, work in online marketing, or have family members or close friends who do one of the above.  So to the techies that are attending Comic Con, have a good time.  To those who will be staring at their computers screens instead, keep checking your RSS.
