Southeastern Arizona Game info on Twitter

[gamespec]

I'm going to try something a little different and a little geeky. I've started to "Twitter" random information about things going on in the Game Management realm in southeastern Arizona. It's not all deer, but basically the things that are going on that day or that week. The kind of stuff I talk about when a friend calls and says "What's goin' on?" It may be interesting to forum members or may not.

 

If you don't know about Twitter, its a place where someone can send out very short messages, like text messages, and they are posted on their own Twitter page. Sort of like a mini-Blog. Messages are limited to 140 characters. You can visit the site periodically to see what's up or you can have each outgoing message (called "tweets") be sent to your phone as a text message (if you don't have unlimited texting you may not want to do this). I intend on "tweeting" maybe once a week, but will send any random thing that I think someone may be interested. Lately I have sent tweets every day, but that will slow down as the newness wears off. The topics will be game animal biology and management ionformation in SE Arizona. You can check out my page by going to https://twitter.com/GameTrax

 

When you go to the twitter website you can sign up (free - username and password is all you need) and then you can choose to "follow" my account called "GameTrax". If you do this, all my "tweets" appear on your own Twitter page and you can add lots of others also. To receive my tweets as text messages just elect to "follow" GameTrax and when you click on the list of people you are following, it will allow you to turn on the option for "updates to be sent to your mobile phone" as SMS text messages. I won't be taking requests for certain Tweets or information, but it might be a interesting way to get the inside scoop on things that you may not see anywhere else.

 

If course the emphasis will be on deer because of their reigning superiority in the animal kingdom. Let me know what you think of this idea.

I signed up on Twitter with another account 6 months ago and then checked it out. When I got my first tweet that said "I'm at the tire store waiting for new tires to be installed" and I thought "Why on earth would anyone ever want to join twittter?" I never went back to the site. But, I thought game info might be interesting. I promise I won't send tweets that say I'm taking the kids to the doctor.
