Talking Sports with WHAS11 on Twitter


I've been a sports broadcaster for about a decade now and the business is definitely changing. There used to be the day when all I had to do was worry about what to air on the 6:00 and 11:00 news. Then about 5 years ago blogging really took off. I was a little hesitant at first. I thought there's no way with all my job duties I would have time to blog. But as you can see I've pretty much gotten the hang of it.

Then two years or so ago Facebook was all the rage. I have to admit I jumped on the bandwagon and created my Facebook page. It's been a wonderful tool to catch up with old friends, discuss sports, and just meet new people.

But now the latest craze is Twitter. Once again I was reluctant to join but now that I'm on there I can't go a day without checking it. It's crazy how many celebrities, including local athletes, are tweeting constantly. From Shaquille O'Neal to John Calipari. From Alyssa Milano to Paris Hilton they're all posting tweets about the interesting things going on in their lives. It's a great way to get your message out and keep people updated on the latest sports news. So you can follow me on twitter right here. I've recruited my coworker Danielle Santoro to take up Twitter, so you can follow her also. And don't forget the mother ship, WHAS11, is tweeting so whether it's sports or news you can be the first to know by following us on twitter.
