There are benefits to microblogging. It helps you to keep up with what family/friends/people are doing at a given time. I like to follow Twitter feeds of sports bloggers...especially ones that Tweet during the games. I have also found that it is very convenient for me as a coach because I can post practice time adjustments and most of my players get the information quickly. If all my players check their Twitter and Facebook, many times this is a much faster way for me to get the word out to them than to call them. A couple negatives that I see... once you post to Twitter, you cannot delete the comment. I also do not feel like communicating what is going on in my life frequently through the day. People do not need to know what I am doing every second of the day.
