Links: Twitter and the Jets

by Bassett on August 17th, 2009 at 4:44 pm

The AP has an interesting article on Twitter and the Jets.

”It’s a lot of fun and I actually respond to random people,” Rhodes said recently during training camp. ”I’ve got this Jets heckler who keeps tweeting me and cussing me out every night. There’s some hostility on there, too, but it’s all good.”

While some teams, including the Miami Dolphins, have banned their players from using the social-networking site, the Jets have openly embraced Twitter.
”I like it because I enjoy the banter,” Jets kicker Jay Feely said. ”It surprises me when you get things back that are hateful, things like, ‘I hope you die,’ or ‘I hope you get cancer,’ but I like being able to interact and share your beliefs and feelings and say it the way in which you want, without going through an intermediary.”

    I bet Dennis wrote this article, he’s the AP BW. Good read.

    I like Twitter it hgives fans a connection with our favorite players tit could also be a distraction to a immature person but everything has it downside. For example Kerry wished my brother a Happy Birthday the other day.

    I know this isn’t a place for it, but any PS3 Madden heads out there? I’m trying to start an online franchise and need players. The Jets are still available. Message me on twitter if interested.
