David,

To Tweet or Not to Tweet… that is the question. (Sorry couldn’t resist that one.) What about the fact that there had to be some followers that might not have realized he was playing right then, and hopped on TV to watch the game. More viewers = More revenue for advertisers = WIN WIN

So, yes, he may have lacked focus in the moment, but was there an ROI on his Tweet? Hard to calculate, but I’d have to yes, at least at some level.

Just a thought… thanks for the post!

@Jon – Being productive with Twitter is definitely a curve ball that few people hit.

@Mat – I am thinking that there are/will be more contracts that require players to use Twitter as part of their marketing duties.

I wonder if the teams are now going to have to start having a “Twitter Clause” in contracts stating that Twitter can’t be used during a game – just like cell phone useage or text messaging … lol – makes you wonder!

Haha… That’s awesome! I’ve been thinking of ways to improve tweets and one thing i came up with was to be more focused with them and not to let it be simply a busy work type thing. This is a prime example of letting Twitter get you distracted. Nice. And PS… if your coach is Scott Skiles, don’t mess with him…
