Boston finished 13th in a second-quarter report on the top business tweeting cities in the U.S. New York is the business tweeting city, followed by San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Sacramento. And how is Vegas 7th? Don't their tweets stay in Vegas?

A survey of overall social media use by businesses, including LinkedIn and Facebook, rated Boston fifth behind San Francisco, San Jose, New York, and Austin, Texas.

This survey, conducted by Waltham's NetProspex, focused solely on business Twitterati - Globe's word. NetProspex expects the surveys to help companies develop social media as "business tools."
