Twitterific

I am rapidly becoming additicted to Twitter. Not only do I enjoy the constant updates to my cell phone, but I find it great that the application allows for interaction between celebrities and normal people. Tony Hawk, the professional skateboarder is probably one of the most entertaining Twitter users around. He constantly updates his account with his where abouts, news about himself and what he's doing -- all in a first person account. Hawk goes one step farther with fan interaction by hiding skateboards in various locations that he passes or visits. Hawk then tweets the location of the skateboards so that his followers can find them.

Others, like the Chicago Red Stars (more on them in a later post) have used social networking sites to expand the popularity of their organization. It has worked, as they are quickly becoming a great venue for family fun and entertainment. They've even tapped into the soccer communities popularity by winning over some of the fans from the Chicago Fire and international soccer.

I use Twitter and as I said, it's addicting. With no time during my day to read about news, entertainment or sometimes even sports, i find that twitter updates me on what i want to know when it hapens.
