UNC all a-Twitter about social networking

Posted Apr 21, 2010
When UNC opted to put out a statement that point guard Larry Drew II was not transferring a couple of weeks back, the sophomore asked team spokesman Steve Kirschner if he could delay the press release for a couple of hours. “He said, ‘I want to tweet out that I’ve got an announcement coming,’’’ Kirschner said Wednesday. It’s just another example of how Twitter – the social media outlet that asks users to post what they are doing in 140 or less – has gone from fad to mainstream. (Raleigh News & Observer)
