Twitter: An Internet Relationship

That’s right, Sportsvite has a Twitter account, and due to a severe lack of real job skills, I’m able to spend a lot of intimate moments with it. However, since this is still somewhat of a new relationship, we’re doing lots of things to prevent this from ending like my last internet relationship (I was 12, don’t judge). You may not see us holding hands in Central Park, but we do engage in other activities pretty regularly:

• Every weekday there will be a new Sport of the Day, which will be the focus of fun facts, interesting articles, and discussion questions.
• Every weekday, we’ll tweet a new Training Tip, which will give a snippet of helpful advice to bring your game to the next level.
• Coming soon: we’ll be running contests on Twitter. Stay tuned, YOU could win something sweet.
• All posts to our wRECk Sports and Product & Support blogs, as well as interesting sports news in general, will be fed through our Twitter account.

You can also now use Twitter — the sweetheart that it is — to publish bulletins that you’ve posted on Sportsvite. Once you create a bulletin, you’ll see an option to publish the post on Twitter, as well as Facebook and Craigslist, above the bulletin. Try it out, as it can be very useful to tap into the huge Twitter community.

Now, we should let everyone know that we really want to make this relationship work, so if anyone out there has ideas that could spice it up even more, let us know! Just shoot an email to Nick or myself, or better yet, tweet it to us!

If you don’t have a Twitter account, it’s FREE and easy to sign up. Simply click here to “join the conversation.”

What is Twitter?

For those of you who don’t know, Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author’s profile page and delivered to the author’s subscribers who are known as followers. (source: Wikipedia)

Feel free to use Twitter as an additional line of communication with us. Sportsvite currently has a strict no-robot policy for all of our Tweets, so I’d be glad to personally answer any of your questions, and would also like to read your responses to my questions. So follow us, @Sportsvite.

If you’re still on the fence about joining Twitter, Sportsvite recommends some of the more popular Tweeters from the World of Recreational Sports:

Runner’s World	APA (Pool)	YogaDork
Trimble Outdoors	FITNESS Magazine	LaxPower Lacrosse
