Twitter much like yahoo messenger or anything else. The medium is the internet. And all the hyping in the world hasnt made twitter any more credible.
The reason many try to hype it is for the simple reason that they themselves think they can then start up their own twitters and become famous.
Real hockey folks who use the mediums of TSN, sportsnet, THN, and other legitimate hockey broadcasts have started side twitters. The twitter fanatics use these twitters as proof twitter is legitimate. It cracks me up.
The only reason its legit is the writers were legit to begin with. Aint got nothing to if they use bloggspot , yahoo , twitter or any other form of blogg.
