MBBA Twitter
MBBA Twitter
Twitter is a fantastic communication tool that is used by millions of people worldwide to communicate simple, short (sometimes funny, revealing or informative) 'tweets' that can be read by everyone who follows them.
How we in the MBBA can utilize Twitter
- There are times when all of us don't feel like hammering out a 500-word post on the forums. Instead, you can post a simple update on Twitter that will be shown to everyone who follows your Account.
- Have a good sim? Something simple like "Hawaii posted a fantastic 8-2 record in the last sim." -- Or if you wish to go more in-depth: "Hawaii posted a fantastic 8-2 record in the last sim, following RF Silas Camarena's .378 Average" It allows members to follow the major actions of all the MBBA organizations without much stress or time development.
- Twitter is easy to banter back and forth. A simple reply, and you can tell your division rival that he may have went 8-2, but you had your First Baseman pound 2 HR's and 5 RBI's against his stud pitcher. It most deffinitly increases the social interactions of all the GM's, as well as makes it that much more fun!
How to setup a Twitter Account
It may seem like a daunting tast, using this new fandangled system -- when really its all too easy. Follow these steps and you can have your own Twitter account and start tweeting away.
1) http://www.twitter.com
2) Top right corner of the page, "New to Twitter - Sgn up!"
3) Follow the on-screen instructions:
Full Name (GM Name),
Username: MBBA_Tropics, CHIBlacksox, MBBA_Hustlers (whatever you wish, as long as it stays within the continuity of the league. So please no "t3hman35z")
Password: Your entry
EMail: Your EMail
>Create Your Account
4) Enter the letters shown
5) Check your EMail. Follow the Directions. That Link will approve your account and send you to your Twitter Homepage.
6) You're ready to Tweet
Tweeting:
So now you've got an account, whats next?
The Top Bar under the heading "What's Happening", that's where you input all your Tweet information, this is where you post whatever news you want others to hear about. Also, make sure to add #mbba at the end of every tweet. A hashtag means that you are promoting something, and if something gets trending enough, it'll show up in people's searches for keywords -- simply put, another fantastic way to keep spreading the good news of the MBBA.
To the right, there's a search bar. Here is where you search for other Twitter Handles (Those from other MBBA GM's). Simply put in the @ Handle, and you're good. For Example: @HATropics > Search. The Hawaii Tropics Twitter page will show up, simply click the green 'Follow' button and now you can read everything said by the Hawaii Tropics GM.
Using Your Smart Phone:
Ah, the iPhone, BlackBerry, Android. Whatever it is you're using, you can surely find a Twitter Application for your phone. You can easily Tweet and read Tweets on your phone. Find your Phone-Appropriate App, install it, follow the directions.

Re: MBBA Twitter
How about a thread on the boards with the highlights of the tweets on for the benefit of those without twitter or for passing guests ?

Re: MBBA Twitter
I am new to twitter and I have found it extremely easy to use. Like the Constitution says, twitter is an excellent way to participate in team news. For those who do not enjoy writing, twitter allows you to give short pieces of information regarding the team. Let's not forget that you also earn Participation Points for each tweet you send out, so you can use Twitter to acrue more PPTs! I highly recommend that everyone set up a Twitter; it will only enhance the MBBA.

Re: MBBA Twitter
Updated with information regarding Hashtags and Trending. Simply put: adding #mbba at the end of every tweet will gain the MBBA popularity and newcomers.

Re: MBBA Twitter
I must say you are right, this 'tweeting' really does add something to the MBBA. I hope though a few more decide to join up - there's about 7 regular tweeters at the moment and I hope they're enjoying it as much as I am, some interesting snippets and thoughts being published

Re: MBBA Twitter
I looked for a way to create a post in the team news area where it would pull tweets (embedded Twitter pull) but haven't found anything yet.
