Fake Twitter Accounts?

I just came upon this website saying that some of the Tampa Bay Lightning organization(an NHL hockey team), has had imposters, or posed as someone on the team trying to be someone else on the team and having them tweet inappropriate things. So the article is just saying how people should be careful of who they follow and make sure they have the right people.

To tell if an account is real Twitter has set up a list to see this list go here: http://twitter.com/help/verified

Pro Athletes and their social sites

Guess what I just found another article dealing with professional athletes and their response to what they think of having social sites to reach fans like us. Some of their responses are humorous and you may find quite amusing....

Behavior of Social Media

This article that I just found that hits close to home at least for me, being from Nebraska. It talks about Tom Osborne, Athletic Director at University of Nebraska, and his opinion on social media and his athletes at his school. He held a meeting with all the athletes at Nebraska saying that they would be monitoring anything that is inappropriate on his athletes social sites.

More Recruiting Thru Internet

Hey party people. I just found an article on the social media guide website that I talked about in earlier blogs. This is one is about an internet site called CaptainU. It's a beta recruiting website that just got started up. It is directed towards soccer players and other athletes. You can read more about it here.

What to do with the Fine money?

I just found somethin on the web that talks about what happens to players money when they are fined. It was dated in 1993 but copyrighted again in 2004 so I take it that this is still in play. They are saying on this website that players fine money goes to Charitable organizations instead of to back to the league that sent out the fine. So when anybody is fined it'll go to a cancer foundation or medical research foundation of some sort. You guys think that they should still do this? Or what are your opinions on this?
