bigdog17k Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Just a poll to see how popular Twitter is with our members. I personally don't use it, but have thought about making one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Need4Sheed Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Dude, I rarely post a tweet but it's awesome for Sports Updates. Especially for Fantasy Leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog17k Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 but it's awesome for Sports Updates. That's why I've contemplated making one, I know a lot of senior sports writers tweet. Almost everybody in the business has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog17k Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Wow, all these "I don't see the point..." I just made one and I'm getting feed from "Sports writers" all I'm using it for is breaking news, or if anything happens. It's not like I'm tweeting people or trying to make friends. Twitter is more of an application... I don't see why so many people are down on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I don't use it and I don't follow anyone on it. I think it's dumb unless your an athlete or celebrity of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I only use it to keep up with sports, athletes, and video game news. I rarely ever tweet something, I only told Wade to stay in Miami for the next 7 years lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Tzu Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I use to tweet quite a fair bit but stopped, haven't tweeted since the all-star weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I use it for precisely the reason N4S said. It is by far the best way to get breaking sports news. The beat writers will ALWAYS post their breaking news on Twitter before anywhere else. They all love being the first to break a story, and it is much faster to write a 140 character "Tweet" than it is to write up a whole story. It is one of the greatest innovations for sports fans of the past 10 years, easily. I don't understand why so many people don't understand the point haha. I will agree though, I can't stand the "average Joes" with 15 followers who constantly post updates. But those of you using that as a reason to bash Twitter should realize that just because you have an account doesn't mean you need to do that. I've only made 3 "Tweets" in my entire time on Twitter I think, and all of them were questions to beat writers of my favorite teams. You should all really try it out. I think now pretty much all sports writers have them and as I said, you will always hear about breaking sports news on Twitter before anywhere else. Every time.

bigdog17k Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 ^ I can't agree with you guys more, since I've gotten it I've gotten and read so many more articles than before. Mainly because they're late breaking and I don't have to search for them on their sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
