First Myspace, than Facebook, now Twitter.  

In a world ruled by technology, Twitter has infiltrated our everyday lives in every aspect.  Whether it is to interact with friends or stay up to date with your favorite celebrity or athlete, Twitter is the website that has taken over the social scene.

Many athletes get criticized by numerous analysts for using Twitter. However, it has become a unique marketing opportunity for players league-wide.  Plus, it's great for fans, because they get to witness their favorite players from a different point of view off the football field.
