    Twitter is a great website. It's revolutionizing the way we follow sports.

    Yeah, so much so that teams are already banning it. Don't be surprised when the Jets do.

    I don't think Ryan cares one way or the other.

    That's an interesting trend. I don't think it will really stick though, I'm not sure how they can really police it.

    ESPN recently gave out guidelines for all there employees using twitter. The U.S. military has banned it due to security reasons.

    I hope really hope the Jets don't ban it.

    I guess for news agencies it is important to control what their employees post on Twitter, but I imagine most employers would just try to limit use to off-work hours.

    I think it is great for sports related use, but other than that it's lame.

    That's just part of the experience. You get to find out a lot more about who the players are.

    Yeah, not sure how they can enforce it without closing practices.

    On a somewhat related note, I heard a couple of days ago on the radio that the Cowboys PR department had requested that the press not report on their use of the Wildcat offense in camp the other day. It was the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

    Sometimes that's more than I need to know. Run faster than the DB, catch the ball, keep running. That's all I need to know about David Clowney.

    I guess it's not for everybody. Personally I enjoy it, even though I think Clowney is a fucking r'tard now.

    I only use it to follow sports, but I'm sure you could use it for many other things if you wanted to.

    The Iran thing almost got me to go on Twitter because that was the only news source and I found it interesting, but I never did. I do like the idea of getting quotes directly from a source without needing reporters, but I just don't care that much.

    I've been using it without problem for about 45 minutes now. They said there may still be intermittent downtime.

    Seconded. I'm much more interested in the tweets from people like Petro and the media anyway than I am in the ones from the players. I don't really care much WHERE Clowney is eating dinner, nor am I on the edge of my seat waiting to see what unique forms of spelling he'll come up with next.
