Twitter is AWESOME

That was awesome! Great post. And I second the notion about how good twitter is for high school scores.

 

That said, you do have to consider the source on scores, but a lot of off-brand media outlets (small papers and radio stations) and official school accounts are out there.

 

You're right. I do find them great when covering high school football in the state of Texas. There are a lot of small newspapers and radio stations, especially in East and West Texas that are very helpful.

 

An Indiana deputy attorney general was fired Wednesday after he suggested — among many provocative remarks on a private Twitter account and blog — that police use live ammunition to clear union protesters from the state Capitol in Wisconsin.

Florida DB Will Hill's Twitter account will never, ever be topped.

Well. That's....interesting.

 

I am learning so much about people via twitter!

 

Oh, look, there's Buzz Bissinger showing his ass on Twitter.

(Did he and Cuban meet tonight at the game?)

 

Here's an idea for an enterprising SJer:

Do a book called "The Year In Twitter." Keep track of all the stupid tweets and all the "news flash" Tweets that turn out to be complete Bullspit. (Like recently someone Tweeting the Georgia QB had broken his ankle in 2 places; turns out it was sprained.)

 

Pretty awesome.

 

Why do you think I started this running thread?

And the Will Hill twitter feed is the best so far, and its not even close.
