In case you missed it on the announcements board...

You can now follow SportsJournalists.com on Twitter... it will automatically pull in any new topics posted in the Journalism or Jobs boards. So if you want to stay up to date via Twitter, go here: http://twitter.com/sjdotcom2


And if you are REALLY bored, you can follow me on Twitter... http://www.twitter.com/Lucas_Wiseman

Sorry, but I'm watching the grass grow tonight.

Already following Sjdotcom... saw some new threads pop up via twitter last night. Got me back to the site. Not that this site needs any help getting me here, but it worked.

Twiddle twiddle.

There's only one candy with a hole in the middle.

Noticed one follower from Tehran. So if this board hasn't gotten anyone killed yet, it soon will.

That means if you follow sj on Twitter, the terrorists win

 

[Madhavok]

I'm following and it's pretty neat.

Am I the only person in America that doesn't have a Twitter account?

There are handful of us out there.

I just have no interest in reading about John Wooden dying five days before he does, or Brett Favre retiring when he doesn't. Nor do I want to bother wondering whether "Amir in Tehran who's tweeting about the election" is really "Bill in Buffalo who's just screwing with everyone."

I haven't given in to Twitter either.

Anyone can focus on the negative aspects of Twitter. And yes, If you are following morons you can get misinformation all of the time, but that would be your fault for following morons.

I follow my friends and a solid group of college football writers/bloggers and through Twitter I am able to get a done of news. It is where I got all my expansion info, it's where I learned about NCAA's tutoring problem, the Georgia jersey fiasco and so many more things.

Your loss.

All that is available elsewhere . . . with a much higher rate of accuracy. Expansion "info" was riddled with errors and misinformation. Brett Favre retired on Twitter. He did not retire in any medium I follow.

My only "loss" is that I may find out about something a few seconds or minutes later than someone else.

And since I'm not a reporter on a beat . . . it ain't no loss.

I am a reporter on a beat. I gots no choice. I realized this a little more than a year ago, when a colleague e-mailed me to tell me his daughter was following one of my players on Twitter and he just said something about his injury that was different from what the team had said.
I signed up that day.
Now I use it as a complement to the blog. Not everything is blogworthy. Plus, followers ask questions, I answer, etc. I kinda like it, I have to admit.

I just tweeted that BYH is a dork.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

I retweeted that.

Is there such a thing as a Three-tweet?
