Twitter Users as a News Breakers
Posted by Haz-Mat Packaging
The NFL and other professional sports have seen considerable increase in tweeting from their players'. One such player is Chad Ochocinco, a wide receiver for the Cincinatti Bengals. The Ochocinco name itself arose from a publicity stunt and as the popular media criticized him for the seemingly idiotic statement (ochocinco rather then ochenta y cinco) the wide receiver went out and legally changed his name. Recently Ochocinco has partnered with Motorola who will be conveying the receivers messages as breaking news from the NFL. The name of the feed is OCNN and will include information from teams all around the league. The link to the story is listed below.
