I have not joined yet. Several threads on here people mention getting info from Twitter. Do you just "follow" people, and who are the best sports/ LU people to follow. Also what is the @ symbol standing for, and what does the # symbol mean?
Also.. what is electronic mail? JK
But for real.. some help on twitter. I think the reason i have not joined, is because the name sounds nasty and perverted.

Essentially every media outlet has a presence on Twitter. So whoever you normally check with online has an ID. The @ indicates to the Twitter system that a user ID is immediately coming afterward. Originally it was used to signal to the system to pass on a reply to an ID. As in I have a message to want to go @somebody.
A few LU oriented accounts you might want to follow right out of the chute:
- flamefans
libertyflames
LUADJeff
libertyvball
ladyflamesoccer
lu_wrestling
libertyfootball
libertysoccer
libertybaseball
libertyu_wbball
jerryjrfalwell
rashadjennings
A slew of LU athletes in about every sport have accounts. They are not hard to find. Some tweet practically every thought while others only tweet sporadically.

Seriously. You can tell these guys have a lot more time on their hands with the football season being over. I may have to unfollow them until spring ball.
