OK…I Was Wrong About Twitter
When I first heard about Twitter I thought…well…”this site will never be heard about again in 3 months”. But 3 months came and went and Twitter had done nothing but grow to an unimaginable size. So…why was I wrong…why did it succeed? Because it is as current as current can be. People let you in to their lives and thoughts at the instant something comes to their mind. It is almost scary how current it is.
Next time something happens in the world that is big news…go on to Twitter instead of Google and do a search for it. You will probably never use a search engine again for your news after seeing your results. People will have already been talking about it and their thoughts and links to articles about the topic are instantaneous. Google is good but it even takes a little while to update. Twitter is instant!
Actually Get To Chat With PGA Stars…and More
So why does this matter for golf?…well the same applies in regards to up to date news…but in addition to that you can actually get to know and really speak to many of the famous golfers you watch on TV every weekend. That is because a lot of them are on Twitter and many will respond to your questions and comments. Don’t think it is really them?…Don’t believe me that they will chat with you…we have already done the homework for you so trust us. But if you don’t just go check it out for yourself and see.
