twitter

i refuse to join twitter for fear that i will become addicted to it as much as sportscenter has. i have to admit that i'm intrigued, but ... i have not yet given in to the temptation to tweet out my thoughts, even though i guess i'm technically doing it on this blog ...

anyway, real quick - two things.

first, i'm wondering how athletes like shaq, dwight howard and TO have time to tweet. i mean, shaq is sitting at home not playing postseason ball so that gives him some free time to comment on how "no one works harder than the syracuse lacrosse team" (whatever - GO DUKE), but i'd say the other two are relatively involved in their prospective sports right now. for example, dwight howard commented on the magic's game one win over the cavs just hours after the fact on his twitter page. i guess it has to do with appealing to the fans, but it does make you wonder a little bit if he was on the bus to the hotel thinking, "great win. let me tweet about this before i go to bed tonight ... if i can see my keyboard over my ginormous arms." in regards to TO: i don't really need to say anything because him commenting on comments that two specific teammates caused his release from the cowboys does not in any way surprise me.

second, who in Bristol spends all day browsing athletes' twitter pages to see what they're talking about? and can i get that job? that's pretty much like facebooking all day which i'm sure i could easily succeed at.
