Industry Taking Advantage of Twitter

Over the last couple weeks there has been a surge in the use of Twitter within the gaming industry. Twitter is an insanely popular social networking site that uses short status like messages to keep connected with others. Just recently there was an article listing out many of the users associated with gaming in various PR, development, or community positions. That has now been spun into a website dedicated to keeping track of those users. Since then even more have popped up to take advantage of the opportunity to open the lines of communication and interact in a way that has never been done before.

I thought it would be a good idea to list out sports gaming related users here. Some are more worthwhile to follow than others and vary in the manner they are using it. Many of these are actively seeking feedback or posing questions outside of general posting activities. You’ll want to sign up on Twitter and then follow the users you are most interested in. You can also check out the list of who I follow for some other entertaining ones.
