Ring Posts on Twitter
I know the entire wrestling word has been anxiously awaiting this day. That’s right, you can now follow Ring Posts on Twitter.
Yep, the man who still tapes shows on a VCR and listens to music on a portable CD player has tapped out to Twitter. I have been nudged into the 21st century – in regard to social networking, at least – by some co-workers who keep telling me that everybody is tweeting.
I think “tweeting” is the correct term. Or is it “twittering?” I don’t know, but I do hear that you can go blind from too much twittering.
Oh, the address is www.twitter.com/ringposts.
Comments
Will you be "tweeting" your thoughts concerning shows live? Or is just a general use twitter page?
RESPONSE FROM KE: Not sure yet. When I have the opportunity to tweet (man, that sounds weird) during a live show, I will. I watch the TV shows a lot on tape.

Not to be a smartass, but typically when people say they're on twitter they tell you the address. www.twitter.com/bnlpmc is a fine example. :)

RESPONSE FROM KE: OK, smartass, it's on there now. Just kidding. Thanks for alerting to me what should have been obvious.

Kevin,
I believe that I just saw a pig fly.
Now I'll have to go onto twitter now to follow your updates. I hope you're happy...
PS - Do you have URL yet?
RESPONSE FROM KE: www.twitter.com/ringposts

So it's okay to call you a twit Kev ?
I consider myself pretty computer savy , but I don't get whole twitter "thing".

Huh, now I feel like a jerk for my comment yesterday......
The opening segment (of RAW) was a total waste of time. It was petty, childish, pointless, immature, and served no purpose whatsoever.
C'mon, Vince, that's what Twitter is for!
BTW, I've read the term "Twitterverse" on CNN.com a few times over the past week. And you thought tweeting sounded weird!

OMG Kevin, I love this blog and read it at least 3 times a week but man you lose some points here bro, whats next MySpace? FaceBook? I think your column is the best out there because it keeps a little "old School" feel to it.
Will obviously continue to read but I gotta say its your first blog I didnt want to read.

I knew I could break you.

Kev, don't feel bad. Up until about a month ago, I still used a VCR to record wrestling. The only reason that I don't now is because the buttons on the vrc remote don't work and I can no longer set it...so DVR it is.
Just thought I'd share that with you.

I'm not a Twitter fan either, but I'm not sure a blog can really be considered "old school," BigNinked. In any case, as long as Ring Posts isn't moving entirely to Twitter, then I don't see the harm. People who want to follow his Twitter will, and the rest of us will read here.
RESPONSE FROM KE: Ring Posts isn't going anywhere -- unless you know something I don't know.

Uncle Bill,
You're not MY Uncle Bill, that always wants me to sit on his lap, even at age 33, are you?

Ask yourself Kevin , would legendary Sun journalist H.L Mencken have twittered ?
Stick to the "manly" meat and potatoes blog :)
