Well, if you are here on the blog, you may have noticed the small “twitter stream” over in the sidebar. I know a lot of softball people are unfamiliar with twitter and what it’s all about, so I just figured I’d showcase a little of the softball talk that’s going on there. Obviously, I can’t show a whole lot in the sidebar, but if you click on the “View More” link, you will be taken to this page where you can see a few more of the recent tweets that have been posted by some of my favorite softball tweeters (or twitterers – I’m not sure what the exact term is). lol
You’ll notice that if you click on any of the names in the display of twitter posts, it will take you directly to that person’s twitter page and you can “follow” them on twitter from there. However, you’ll need your own twitter account to do that.
Honestly, signing up for twitter is VERY simple and can be done within a few minutes (maybe even less). Just go to Twitter.com and click on the green “Sign Up Now” button. You’ll be joining in the conversation with us on twitter in no time. If you’re having trouble finding people to follow, you can do a couple of things…
- type “softball” into the Search field at twitter and see who’s talking about softball (or any other softball related term). You may be able to find some people that way
- check out the list I made of some cool softball people on twitter in this blog post
- when you do find a cool softball person on twitter: check out who they’re following OR scroll down their page and see who they’ve been talking to
Those are some simple tips for to getting started on twitter and finding cool softball people to follow. And don’t forget, you can also follow me as well at twitter.com/staciemahoe ~ see you there!
