How NOT to use Twitter
I had to unsubscribe to the Sport Designers’ Twitter feed Tuesday. It just got on my nerves.
They found something cute and amusing — a series of soccer promotions that used photoillustrations of huge soccer balls. [Insert your own 8th-grade-level snickering here.]
So they tweeted it. And tweeted it. And tweeted it.

It’s a shame, because I’ve found some interesting articles via Sport Designers. But this was nuts.
Disclaimer: I don’t know who the Sport Designers are, but it’s not the same as the wonderfully entertaining and informative SportsDesigner bloggers Rich Boudet and Josh Crutchmer. Those guys are golden.

I believe that site is actually run by the art director of the Cleveland Browns.

You’re KIDDING me. Oh, man. After I ragged on that guy a couple of weeks ago, now this. He’s going to wonder why I hate him.
I crawled all over that site, looking for identification. Plus, the Cleveland Browns guy — Chris Modarelli — already has a blog. So I wouldn’t have suspected.
Ah, well. My comment stands. Sigh…
Thanks, Rich.

Uh oh, they’ve got you down as a link to their post. BTW, those are some enormous balls.

It’s cool Charles – let’s chalk it up to being new to Twitter and being a bit fanatical with my posts. I just saw this on your blog and can completely understand your frustration and have revised my posting habits.
Come on back. We’ve posted some really good interviews since and have more coming up – actually I wouldn’t mind getting an interview with you.
