Amen, and Amen.

Here we are(nt)… talking about tweets like little schoolgirls, while other fans are talking about grown a$$ men winning the Super Bowl.

I'm going to need to setup a Twitter/X account and start using it for the first time ever this year since I'm starting my own business.

Really not looking forward to some aspects of that.

It's absolutely the best source of up to the minute news as long as you find those best sources to follow. What used to be written and published in print and then later posted once a day online is now shared virtually as it happens on Twitter. Twitter is by no means infallible, but it can't be beat for timeliness. It also has a way of self-policing content. If someone posts bogus content or even slightly incorrect content, it is usually sniffed out quickly. That's something that doesn't happens with blogs since it is controlled by the blogger themselves.

Oh, and best wishes with the business! What sort is it?

It will be a new fantasy football service blended with gaming elements and several different scoring modes. I'll be letting you guys know plenty about it this summer once the web site is ready.

Sweet! You know many other guys in that business? I've been into the fantasy game for almost 30 years now and have known and competed against many that have been involved in the business for just as long. My username came from a long since extinct website known as FantasyAsylum. I used to be known as simply Guido and FA merged with another site that I had already been with and they were moving all history along so my username had already been taken, by myself. LOL! I added the Asylum to the end and have used it everywhere ever since. Still keep in touch with many of those guys, and gals.
