The Decider: The Dangers of Tweeting in the Public Eye
Twitter is great. I sing its praises like the bird that is its logo, if only it had a voice. (In my imagination, the Twitter logo bird pecks away at an iPhone to communicate via tweets.) The service allows people from all walks of life to communicate with each other about any subject in real...

Dan Jenkins Apologizes for YE Yang Remark on Twitter
Last week, we told you about the back and forth between legendary golf writer Dan Jenkins, PGA Champion YE Yang, Golf Digest magazine, and the Asian-American community about Jenkins' tweet during the Masters that joked that he had received a take out order from Yang. That was kind of offensive to...

Irony in Ink Form: Back to Back Golf World Articles About Twitter
Golf World has two stories this week about Twitter. One is by Ron Sirak about what he perceives to be the impact of Twitter on the golf world. I think Sirak addresses a slew of issues and caveats about Twitter for everyday folk, pro golfers, and pro writers. (He conveniently leaves out bloggers...
Say Cheese! PGA Players Flip Off Tiger Woods, PGA of America, or Ian Poulter?
Ian Poulter is one of the revered pro golfers on Twitter. He gives away tickets, Tweets in between shots, and says some pretty irreverent stuff - all in 140 characters. Well, he took it to the next level with a Tweet that he has since taken down, but Geoff Shackelford caught. The link took you...
