So which Bearinsider poster is Donna Tedford?

"I'm on there all day, from the moment I get in, to the moment I go to bed. It's part of the job. It's a necessity," Gallagher said. "What makes social media so valuable (is) it relates to the way recruiting is right now."


Shoot, who knew you could get paid to do this? Half of BI is doing this for free.

Pete Carroll has had a twitter ghost writer for years

Tedford's 5,800 followers lags WAY behind guys like Sarkisan who has 39,800 followers and Kiffin who has 25,900. Though congratulations to JT for beating out Tosh who has a mere 3,200 followers.

The should have hired okaydo.

Does Tedford post as often as those guys?

Their tweets aren't particularly interesting. That's more on the fans.

Sark has a ghost writer for woofing on twitter?

Thanks for the article. I'm surprised the ghost writer isn't Quinn, although he probably would exhibit too much youth and I doubt Tedford would like that. I looked up the writer and this bugs me a bit; he went to UCLA for a short period of time and St. Mary's for the rest.

I really hoped for a position like this, we could find a Cal grad to do it. Oh well, I guess the same can be said for a lot of job openings at the University and he's only been at it for a short amount of time.

if JT wants a following on twitter, he needs to be interesting and relevant to those that follow. He is in a young man's game as a college football coach, and needs to stay and act young.

Saint Mary's athlete? Welcome to Cybers, Mr Gallagher.

Feb. 13, 2006
San Bruno, CA- Saint Mary's senior infielder Delaney Gallagher (Palisades, CA) was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Week after leading the Gaels to a 4-1 start for the first time since the 1978 season. The 2005 All-WCC first-team selection adds a player of the week honor for the first time in his career.

so that's the guy that's always "fired up!!"

[This being Cybers I'll leave out names.]

A national candidate for high office was embarrassed by being huuugely out followed on twitter by his opponent. Then, in just [U]one[/U] afternoon, his numbers tripled. After further review turns out for a very modest outlay there are services where folks can buy robo-followers.

But OF COURSE Sark and Kif are waay too classy for that, riight.

I don't get it. You bolded Sark's # of tweets and all of JT's stats. What am I missing.

Let's find out how they proved that that one politician had robo-followers, and then use the same method to "out" Sark and Kiffin.

---

.. Bold was/is used by me to attract the eye, [U]underlining[/U] and italics the same to a lesser degree. [SIZE="5"]Bullet Points GO Big. [/SIZE] Colored fonts.. forget how right now, sorry.

Sark has the most tweets, Riley 2nd, and Tedford is our guy; love him or leave him alone is my mantra.

That is all.

Leach and Kiffin have the benefit of having previously been coaches elsewhere where they might've picked up some residual followers.

Ha, do you think any Oakland or Tennessee fans are still following Lame?

I'm thinking it'd be more of a followed Lane when he was coach then stopped using Twitter but I still count as a follower type deal.

SkyBear;841926784 said:

Well you seemed like you knew something about Sark's and Kiffin's followers possibly being robo-followers. How was that politician outed? How did they prove it was robo-followers?

..3rd time with same question got my attention, congrats.

Required material pinned to the top of this board (it will be on the final exam btw):
http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60398

Executive summary: the benefactors of our little bbs try to minimize political give and take, the lesser the better, supposing there'll be more kumbayah spirit amongst Bear family if we're not shouting at each other. Rants happen anyways of course. I try to cooperate; honest, I do try. Have been known to sneak in a dig now and then, when grownups aren't watching, but aware of thin ice below.

In that spirit, sorrry, not gonna drag those particulars onto the board today. Minimal skills w/google or google-news will get you more than enough to read.


Sark / Kiffin clean or dirty, shucks [southern accent goes here ->] "I've got no idea darlin". Though you'll notice on Growls can't hardly lose points slandering opposition staff, players, students, spirit squads (except Duck-ettes), yada yada.

Pressed to the wall (great job newbie) I confess never even suspecting those fellas' inconsequential numbers, rather reminding folks of the fuzzy nature of following #S.

o-o (it means over and out)

Drunkoski

(if you watch the TV series Breaking Bad, there's this character named Skyler White, the wife of the protagonist, and well....I hope you get the analogy...)

Honestly, I don't even know. I'm not even on Twitter. I did just did some quick googling because I was interested to see how many followers these guys had.

I thought they were written by a call center in Mumbai because they always start out "Be mindful"
