Forbes Magazine release today a list of the 30 most connected cities in the United States. They’ve surprisingly selected Atlanta as the most wired US city. I’m not really seeing it. Sure, as Forbes points out, the ATL is home to Bellsouth, Cox and Earthlink, and it might have more people with broadband per capita than any other city, but it just doesn’t feel right. I’m willing to bet that in reality, cities like San Fran, Seattle and NYC are more connected. Thoughts?
America’s Most Wired Cities [Forbes]
Although the ATL may not have the same digital culture as say LAX or NYC or San Fran, I would agree with the Forbes article. Atlanta is a very wired city. The two items you mentioned are key clues.

You’re showing a bit of bias here… there is a little bit of life (and even innovation) between the coasts you know. :)
For the record, I live in New Orleans.
It happened during preperations for the 1996 Olympics. The buzz about town spoke of how much the city got wired for that event.
