Building community: Bleacher Report on Twitter

Bleacher Report Community Coordinator Will Leivenberg posted a note in the Community Lounge forum asking B/R writers to share their Twitter handles.

The list is growing, and I’m using it as part of the slow, clunky process of building a Bleacher Report Twitter list.

Aside: I’m wondering if Twitter could possibly make this task more ponderous and complicated—it takes four clicks to add someone to the list!—because I’d like to really get going on my repetitive stress injuries. OK, rant over.

As Will says, collecting Twitter handles is “a step toward growing the community by illuminating how interconnected we are, and can be, through social networks like Twitter.”

If you’re a B/R writer, or otherwise affiliated, add your handle to the forum post. Or, if you’re not already on the B/R Twitter list, tweet at me that you should be.

    I’m with y’all. Building Twitter lists is tedious and clunky. I ran a quick Google search to see if there are any relevant apps. Best bets are below. I haven’t used either, but as a fan of B/R — especially Team Stream — I figured I could help prevent the onset of early carpal tunnel syndrome.

    Good luck and please tweet out the list via @BR_WritersHQ. I’ll make sure to follow it.

      Thanks, Noah. Trying twitilist. Any idea why it won’t work in Safari? It’s forcing me to use Firefox. Feh .But I’ll deal. Am I being THIS whiny today? Yes, I am.

        No idea why it won’t work on Safari. I blame the ghost of Steve Jobs.
