Scottsdale ranks at the top for cities to take a selfie

City ranks fifth in tweets of selfies sent per capita

City of Scottsdale asks via Twitter to send in selfie pics

Tweet your selfie using hashtag %23ScottsdaleSelfie

Lookin' good, Scottsdale. Apparently you know it and want to show it.

The internet people-finding search site, mylife.com, rated Scottsdale one of the 10 best cities for selfies. Selfies: The photos you snap by yourself, of yourself with your cell phone.

The site used the most populous U.S. cities and ran them through filters that looked at fewest cloudy days, which made for best lighting, number of parks, which created best backgrounds, number of cell phone stores (best to capture your mug), and number of tweets per capita with the hashtag #selfie.

The site describes Scottsdale, with a bustling night life and calling itself "The West's Most Western Town," as prime for opportunities for "self" picture taking.

"Scottsdale citizens need to document how good they look before/while they are out on the town," the site said. "They ranked fifth in #selfie tweets per capita. They also ranked second in fewest cloudy days per year, so that beautiful tan you're getting while chilling by the pool must be shown to everyone on your friends list as well."

Never one to shy away from any "best" moniker, the City of Scottsdale has started the Twitter hashtag #ScottsdaleSelfie, inviting people to send their (appropriate only) selfies taken in Scottsdale.
