Tweet Rocks

By Johnny

TwitterSo you guys ever heard of this thing called Twitter?

Apparently, it’s kind of a big deal nowadays. So we did our research and learned all about what Twitter is and how to use it, and we got a Hoya Hoops Twitter account set up. (Follow us here.)

We’ve been tweeting away – posting links and other Hoya-related info – for over a month now, and we’ve also been scowering the twitterverse for other Hoya tweeters.

I was planning on writing a post detailing who’s who on Twitter and who all Hoya fans should be following when they announced a new feature called Twitter Lists. Twitter Lists allow you to put together a whole group of people that you can follow all at once. Sounds like just what the doctor Vincent Kelly ordered.

Hoya Tweets

So here are the three lists we’ve made for you.

Hoyas

This list has all the Georgetown Basketball players we could find. Currently, that list contains:

Follow the list here.

Current Hoyas

This list only has the Georgetown Basketball players who are a part of this year’s team. It will always be a subsection of the Hoyas List, but we’ll update it each year to match the current roster. Right now, that means it has:

Follow the list here.

Hoya News

This list has all the twitterers who cover the Hoyas with news and quick updates. So far we’re following:

Follow the list here.

Oh, and a word of warning for all of you sensitive readers out there: These are the personal accounts of Georgetown players and alums, and we have no control over the content posted there. If you are uncomfortable with the language you might find there, don’t blame us.

[Edit: We originally said that the GeorgetownHoops account was run by GUHoyas.com. It is instead run by the basketball office. The official Twitter account for all Georgetown Athletics is GeorgetownHoyas which covers all sports. Since we focus only on basketball, we do not include @GeorgetownHoyas in our list.]

    LOL. You must not have been trying very hard if you could not locate the Roy Hibbert twitter. You ever hear of Google? Write in “Roy Hibbert” and “twitter” and you get some results. A caveman can do it.

    @T Dudley,

    With celebrities, Twitter has this thing called Verified Accounts to make sure it’s not someone else spoofing the person’s name. With all the other NBA players – even DaJuan Summers – the Hoyas had that verification. Since Hoya2aPacer did not and that account hasn’t had any tweets since July, we decided to leave it off our list for now.
