Twitter is advancing technology in so many new ways. It allows access to information and is a means of communication at all times from many different places. Twitter is an outlet for major corporations, organizations, companies, and businesses to expand. SportsCenter took advantage of this opportunity.
SportsCenter on twitter gives individuals a way to follow games, teams, and players even if they don't have access to a television. With over 1,400,000 followers, it is apparent that many sports fans depend on this means of communication to stay updated on what is happening in the sports world. This large number of followers also shows how popular twitter is in general and how social media really is a major part of many lives in this generation.
These days with twitter and TV shows like SportCenter on twitter, it is almost impossible to not keep up with all your favorite sports team's news or other current events as they are happening.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think about Twitter and how popular it has become in such a short amount of time, it makes me wonder what's next for social networking. At first it was myspace, and then facebook, and now Twitter. Who knows what the next big thing will be. It seemed like myspace and Facebook were such a break through, but technology continues to surprise us. We think, "Is there anything better or more useful than Twitter that could be invented?", but I predict that something will make an appearance sooner than we think, and it will leave us asking the same questions. "What could be better than this?" But things keep advancing and at such a fast rate. It's a hard concept to wrap your mind around.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first learned about Twitter I was completely against it. I thought it was just another social networking site, and didn't understand why I should have multiple profiles on the internet that were the same. After learning more about Twitter and joining myself, I realized that it was much more than a profile giving your "Followers" a play by play of your day. Twitter is a way to network not only socially but for professional purposes as well. The amount of attention that Twitter can generate for a small business or a sports team is unbelievable.

ReplyDeleteESPN and twitter could possibly be one of the greatest things to happen to sports. With not only the show having its own twitter, every person on the show having their own account. Do you know how amazing it is that I can tweet at John Clayton (football analyst) and ask if Adrian Foster is playing today for the Texans? The even greater this is that Clayton tweets back and helped me win my fantasy football match-up this week.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Taylor. Even though I don't have a twitter, I know that it can be used for much more than just an update on how your day is going. I really find the way small business owners use Facebook and twitter to promote their business, and that it actually works. I think that it can really help small business owner, when all you see on tv are commercials for mcdonalds or nike, it lets me keep up with my favorite lesser known or up and coming businesses, like Mr. Zub's in Akron, Ohio, or the clothing brand my friend started in high school, Renowned Clothing.
ReplyDeleteJon, that is awesome! It is crazy that these social networking sites open up windows to have conversations with people that we would otherwise maybe never be able to contact.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet Jon! But I agree with Bailey as well.. what's next for the social networking world? And if there is something I wonder what it will be. Twitter is absolutely amazing when it comes to sports. I follow all the major athletes and even some of the osu players and it's so interesting to see the things they post on a day to day basis. And to my surprise they're tweets are no different then my own.
