Come follow us! Hourly updates on posts in the forum. I will be using this a lot more.

Also the summer is going to lead to a lot of new changes to the site that are currently in the works. I'm very very very excited about some of the things that are going to happen here.

If you have a twitter too...post it here and we'll twit? I think thats what we do and call it.

It's the new microblogging craze.  Basically posting 140 word posts for people to read.  It's a decent jump-off for getting articles and short bits out there quickly (like, say "rumor: Doron Lamb commits!") instead of making a whole blog post or news article.  It's social networking, and easily accessible on your mobile phone, which makes it more attractive than trying to read a whole blog post on you celly.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter)

But it also strips the content + nuance right out of what you're trying to say/ broadcast.  It'll probably be replaced by something in 2-3 years, like facebook or most social networking sites.  But right now, lots of cats are on it - writers, head coaches (Calipari's on it: http://twitter.com/UKCoachCalipari, among others), players (some player got in trouble for sending a message during halftime of an NBA game, I think it was Dwight Howard)....  So it's kind of the hot thing now.

I bet "twittering" is different too.  First time I heard that phrase I was like, "are you serious?"

Dumb question---I have an account and now following you but how do I get the twitters send to my email so I actually know what is being said?

Isn' it "tweeting?"
"I drink and I know things"

It is now. But I used to get Facebook updates that started with "so and so is twittering."

(I assumed that was not by choice and how twitter sent updates to other sites)
