It was inevitable.
Rock M Nation is joining the phenomenon and hopping on the Twitter bandwagon faster than the USA Today Coaches Poll jumped on the basketball team's bandwagon.
If you are Twitter-inclined and Twitter-savvy, follow us on Twitter at our Rock M Nation Twitter Page. And, even better, if you know how Twitter works, feel free to give us a crash course in #'s and @'s.

I know of one of your ex-professors who vehemently disagrees with you.
Just staying with the times, my friend.

I just think it is pointless.
Blogs are intended to create a conversation; without the ability to comment, it’s worthless.

I'm not arguing with you.
That is why we’re hoping to use it to direct people here. Hopefully it’ll drive Missouri fans who are currently unaware of what we do here at RMN to give us a look.

Damnit, rpt.
You’re supposed to keep arguing with me. Conceding the point with a rational thought does me no good.
You’re the worst blog flame-war participant ever.

What I meant to say is...
Kendial Lawrence is average.

You can comment on conversations
use an @username in the middle of your post, and your followers can see it. For example, “I think @ghtd36” is wrong.
Clearly, tweets =/= blogs, but they can drive people to blogs and spur conversations.

Can I see that on my tv with the antennas?

Why thank you
feel free to whore my blog around, too.
Tips:
@[username] sends a message to someone, but it’s also publicly viewable to your followers.
- is the way to create hashtag searches. So you could tweet the MU-kU game by creating a #muku hashtag, for example, and then the Twitterverse could follow it through a Twitter search.

dmfail
Also, if you want to send someone a direct message others can’t see, use:
d username message

hmm, that didn't work
Where it says “1” in my post was supposed to be a # [topic] without the space between hashtag and topic. Like the #muku tag.

Appreciate the tips
We’re getting a lot of pro-Twitter sentiment from our higher ups at SB Nation, but I’m also getting it pretty heavily from the J-School as well…

Are you one of those
who were “forced” to Tweet?
by jschooltiger on Feb 18, 2009 2:57 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not in reporting at the moment, so not yet...
But I figure it’s coming down the line.
Then again, as you can see, “forcing” me to interact online won’t be a hard sell.

I got kind of annoyed at "forcing" people to tweet
you can lead a horse to water ….
if our students don’t understand the digital world now, forcing them into it isn’t necessarily going to help. It’s like when we used to force people to read the paper.

I worked for newsy.com this past semester and we had to tweet for marketing purposes… then it stuck.

Me and Twitter have a complicated history
A lot of my friends obsess about it (and their Tumblrs…which is a whole ’nother story), but I have never really been able to grasp it.
Hell, a week or so ago my Facebook status was “Turd Ferguson wonders if he’s a bad journalist because he’s never used Twitter.”
It's a funny name.
