SCCC Twitters

All,

Do you Twitter? If yes, then you may get the idea of this initiative by just reading the title. However, for others, you just need the need to understand the concept of Twitter as almost real time non voice-based answer to the most common question in our games as "what does the scoreboard say?"

 

We will be piloting the Twitter technology to provide real time status for our games. Everyone will be able to subscribe to them and for instant gratification, you could setup device alerts and the messages woild flow to you instantly on your cell phones as text messages. This will eliminate your phone calls to the players and most importantly, to our SCCC 411 service, Sujesh Pullikal!.

 

Twitter receivers can be many but there can be only one SENDER. For Aces, I will be the designated twitter. For Bees, Ahmad Amin will be the designated twitter and for Seas, we are still looking for a volunteer. So, if you have a cell phone with text plan, can type quickly on your phones and don't mind updating your curious club members, and are selected in Seas, please send me an email and I will make you the twitter for the Bees and Seas teams. The URLs of these twitters are also on the main page of our portal for someone to check the score card from the web. Additionally, we have a general purpose twitter for our general club news that you can subscribe to also.

 

In summary, to check the status of a game, don't call anyone. Check the following URLs periodically. Additionally, f you want PUSH-based status, sign-up for a Twitter user id, and follow the SCCC<team> Twitter accounts. This way, as soon as the designated twittering folks send the text message, it will be published to all subscribers.

 

URLs (also on our main page):

ACES (updated by me): http://twitter.com/scccaces

BEES(updated by Ahmad Amin): http://twitter.com/scccbees

SEAS (looking for volunteer): http://twitter.com/scccseas

 

As of now, sccc<team> twitters are subscribed to each other through the devices..So, any update by Ahmed will be instantly seen by me, and vice versa.

 

Happy Twittering!

 

Best Regards,

SFA
