Apparently, this thing called "Twitter" is all the rage among the nerd set these days. Being a nerd, of course, and Twitter being free, I had to check it out. Having checked it out, it seemed like something that would be pretty cool to have on the site.
It's a way to share short updates (140 characters or less) with folks. Sort of like a mini-blog or something like that. Lots of people use it to share info with their friends about what they're up to. It seemed like something we could use here on the OBR to provide short little updates about stuff on the site (e.g., "Updated the depth chart", "Give the webmaster a beer", etc). What it could be real cool for are quick updates from the sidelines in training camp like I used to do via customized system a couple of years ago.
Anyhow, our Twitter feed is
http://www.twitter.com/theOBR, and I've got it integrated with the OBR front page now. We'll see if we can keep it updated... it's pretty easy... but it was something I had to try. Both JT and I are slamming updates into there, and I'll try to show Fred how to use it when mini-camps start up.
