Tim Tebow on Twitter: Joey DOlan

Tim Tebow on Twitter

      Tim Tebow is now on Twitter. He is now one of the millions of people who joined the social network giants, Twitter and Facebook. His first “tweet” was a thank-you message to the fans that supported him during his years as the quarterback for the Florida Gators collegiate football team up until his recent entry in the 2010 NFL Draft, saying, “Thanks for all the years of support - I'm really excited about being able to keep in touch with all of you on Twitter and Facebook.” Tebow’s brother Robby Tebow and friend Angel Gonzales run a company, XV Enterprises, to market Tebow.

          I feel personally that any non-negative publicity, such as Tebow’s entry into the social network, is positive in it’s effect to the players image and marketability. It also brings Tebow closer to his fans who can simply post a congratulatory message on his site. It is a win-win scenario for Tebow and the many athletes who use Twitter and Facebook. This is a good thing for all to be able to connect with millions of other people.
