Twitter Blog

This week, after following the Fightins on Twitter, not as much has been going on. A couple of news stories about boosting their bullpen, and the released that their ballpark isn't as hitter friendly as they are accused of.
As for what the Phillies are doing, its only a few days until the pitchers and catchers report, and they have been talking about their next young possible big pitching prospect Trevor May. Right now it seems to be the calm before the storm, not too much to talk about, and then next thing we know Spring Training.

Senior First Farwell class/Facebooke

Since I wasn't in class, and decided to go to the senior first farewell instead, I thought it would be relevant to this class by saying how the whole reason I found out about this event, was through a group made especially for it on Facebook. It was very clever of them to promote using Facebook, it gave an invitation and then link to the registration on the homepage. I'm not sure if other social medias were used, like Twitter, but the Facebook was sucessful in doing its job

Blog Week 1

I found it really interesting in exactly how complicated but yet useful twitter can be, especially for business or celebs. I mean It doesn't take much to follow somebody, and some people might follow as many people/things as they can, so it's a free way to reach so many people. The complicated and involved part that really intrigued me wasn't it being hard to use. Instead, all of the third party software to make it easier means it is really catching on, and it'll be around for a while longer. I'm more of a facebook fan myself, but there isn't a bunch of programs to make facebook easier. Just that those softwares exist means twitter is being taken very seriously within the social media community.

Feb 4th Phillies Blog

For the past week following the Phillies, I noticed a bunch of things are happening. And as the season nears, a lot more will be going on in their news. The most recent thing they have done was add a veteran outfield to their roster. Freddy Guzman. They have also added a veteran pitcher, Jose Contreras.
They haven't only been making baseball news with trades, however. Second basemen Chase Utley has been praised at a school for coming in and talking to children about reading. They have also hosted a film screening. The club has also hosted the signing of new third basemen Placido Polanco in which Phillies fans were said to come out in "droves" to. As the weeks get closer to Spring, there will continue to be a lot of activity within the ball club.
