To Tweet or not to Tweet.
Watagua Group
Twitter is a micro “blogging” site that allows users to discuss topics with a 140 character max. Tweets are no longer just “what are you doing.” News, gossip, sports and entertainment get updated constantly, and followers now have a way to receive all the information they are interested in on one site. And those who “tweet” are not teens! The average users are males between the ages of 35 and 44, who have stable careers and live in big-city metro areas like Los Angeles, Philadelphia and New York.
A user’s Twitter homepage is like a Yahoo! homepage of their favorite topics. When you log in to your account, you see updates from people, brands and topics you’re interested in. Think about your homepage on the internet. When you connect and are directed to your homepage, like Yahoo, you get the latest updates in several categories from sports, entertainment, news and more. But when you log into your homepage on Twitter, you get updates from specifics – Orlando Magic, Oprah, CNN. Maybe you are only interested in SEC football, so instead of seeing general sports updates on your Yahoo! page, you follow SEC Sports on Twitter and only see updates regarding the SEC when you log into your homepage.

I work most of the time and when I’m not working, I’m golfing with my husband or hanging out with my daughter. I log on to Facebook often, but when it comes to writing what I’m doing, I fall short. Do people want [...]

The Thrill of the Game!
Beth Mock Le Blanc, 01.22.2009This weekend I played golf not once, but twice. Saturday I scored 104 (best ever) and Sunday 118 (par for my course). Anyone who knows me and knows how bad a golfer I am is probably shaking their head and asking why? Why would I subject myself to two days of a short game that is anything but precise? With putting so bad, that even if I get to the green in two or three, I end up with a seven, an eight or even, yikes, a nine (this is the highest number our score card goes to). I have a 5 wood that is my absolute nemesis. I could hit that 5 wood perfect for one shot and then completely collapse on the next.
