Has this staff caused you to step your Twitter game up?

Idk, the recruits these days take social media to life. Seeing an active, exciting staff can only be seen as a good thing. Especially if its something that gets retweeted and favorited. I know it's hard to accept the importance of social media in our culture today, but the bottom line is... it's here... and it's here to stay... and it is important to recruits and fans. Look how many stories have been "revealed" via twitter.. or someone's profile.
We'll see next recruiting cycle. My guess is that they simply don't have the followers yet since they're just getting started.
No Change, I Already use twitter as a great news source, mass transit alerts and follow a ton of news oultets. It basically agregates all my news needs both business and sports into a single feed.
I dont know why people think its just a place to mindlessly send out messages. I follow to name a few: WSJ, ESPN, SI, Financial Times, CNN, NJ Transit, PATH, all the Rutgers coaches, BTN, recruiting analysts, Bloomberg, Rivals, recruits coaches.
Interestingly some recruits have followed me including Jonathan Pollock, Curt Taylor. I tweet positive things about RU, bit not at recruits.
Twitter is a legit way to agregate a large number of sources and you will almost always see the news there first.

I don't and won't do twitter. Who cares about every tweet from recruit, player or coach? 99% of the time the tweets are just bullshit.
Twitter really is a great way to follow recruiting. Sometimes you need to dig a bit but lots of info there.
I don't know how many NJ recruits but there were almost 292 retweets and 428 likes as of now.
That's good. I don't twit/tweet. From time to time, I will do a search for breaking news, but I don't have the interest and/or time to sign up, aggregate and track tweets/retweets. Plus, sometimes some read too much into a retweet, and think a retweet means more than it does.
I get that Twitter is hugely popular with many these days and it's a necessary evil in the recruiting game, but I simply have no interest. There's no news or sports info that I feel the need to hear first or at least before almost anyone else. I can wait.
Never had twitter or Facebook accounts and I don't plan to start now. If the staff can use it to help in their recruiting, that's good enough for me. I can wait to find out who is coming to play for us.
I don't have twitter or facebook but doesn't mean I won't look at twitter to find news etc.. It's a decent source to look up stuff from time to time but can be unreliable but I only look at sports reporters accounts not the average lay person out there so it's generally okay.
In this age of social media, it's absolutely essential to be up to date with all this stuff for recruiting and while I don't give much of a hoot about it the staff should and I know does. I expect this will likely be one of the most social media savvy staffs we've had as a whole. How much of a dent it makes in local NJ recruiting we'll see but I do think they have a much better chance the Flood's staff and Schiano's prior to Hafley/Angelichio even if not local. I'm not one who's ever cared about having a local flavor on staff either HC or coordinators but am kind of surprised we haven't seen any yet and wouldn't have mind 1-2 local faces among the position coaches. Still some positions to fill so we'll see.
