As a followup to last week’s post about Twitter, and how hockey fans are taking the internet messaging medium by storm, there have been many requests for something similar to @PredFans, the group application that allows fans to discuss the Predators without having to link up with (and get ALL the updates from) other Predators fans. Paul Nicholson has graciously added a couple new groups, which are openly available to the hockey public: GoLeafs and OilFans, where Toronto and Edmonton fans can share their hockey wisdom (guffaw) in 140-byte samples (there’s also TitanFans for the Nashville football crowd).
To use them from your Twitter account, all you have to do is:
1. Follow the appropriate account (PredFans, GoLeafs or OilFans)
2. To send a message through the application, send a direct message, as in “d GoLeafs What am I supposed to do without the Leafs on HNIC this Saturday?”
3. That message will then get forwarded to everyone else following GoLeafs.
So feel free to sign up, and enjoy!
