I wonder how much this chart will be skewed since it is almost 5pm on the east coast right now vs. late afternoon for the west coast.
So there are about 25> of us from Wisconsin. What city are you guys from? I live in Milwaukee.

I'm guessing this guy was really bad PR : https://twitter.com/_FloridaMan
haha, I love the florida man twitter account! But really, Florida ain't so bad ... I live in Orlando. There's lots of activity going on, lots of meetups, and lots of energy.
That's like Austin is in Texas, but it ain't "Texas".

I was raised in California and I just happened to enjoy building websites as a kid so it was a no brainer to move to Silicon Valley when I became an adult. I just wish it wasn't so damn expensive to live here. States like Colorado and Arizona have been on my mind a lot lately since you can get a beautiful house out there for what it costs to buy a condo here.
I was also born and raised in California (Redding to be exact). I've since lived in the bay, NYC, Minneapolis (amazing city BTW just freaky cold winters) and AZ. I'm currently in AZ (for the third time) and am staying. The startup scene out here is frowning and there's a lit of resources and meet ups and like minded folk out here. I highly advise folks to check it out. For what would cost you 1.2-1.8 Million for a ho…
So here are the results so far scaled to population. I took the poll result, divided by population, multiplied by 1,000,000.

You really need to only show scores with at least a certain number of respondents. You should also round to the nearest integer.
This is stupid. It will simply reflect the average number of people who have the internet per state.
Well, you're wrong about what it will reflect. But, even with that, if the purpose of the poll was to find that fact out, then the poll would not be stupid. You can't know whether something is stupid without knowing the purpose behind it. You only know the question. You don't know the use to which the answer will be put.

The startup scene is definitely growing in AZ. There are plenty of interesting people doing interesting things. The low cost of living, increasing number of awesome meetups, and growing co-working community is a pretty good sign of things to come. I've met passionate entrepreneurs at almost every corner of the state. Just off the top of my head--Flagstaff has NACET; Tucson is leading the open data movement; Chandler has Gangplank; Phoenix has CO+HOOT & SeedSpot; Mesa has a wonderful Hackerspace; and Marana was recently elected a top digital city in 2012.
That said, there's room for improvement. There aren't a lot of people with experience investing in hi-tech (lots hi-tech military stuff, but not the hi-tech that HN normally discusses); as a community, we don't have really good marketing muscle; there are few veterans willing to recycle capital; and not a lot of foreign direct investment because people have this impression that folks from AZ are crazy.
I love that place though. You can live in a goddamn mansion for the prices you pay in SF.
