All,
In the wake of seeing how widespread we are (#whyD3, 40,000 followers for D3hoops), it's about time for us to unite on Twitter. I'm not exactly sure what I want this thread to be, except for a place we can maintain a running list of people we'd like to be able to tweet back and forth with about D3 issues. Think of it as the D-III phone book.
So if you're D3-related and have a Twitter account you would like publically acknowledged (i.e. if your coach tells you don't tweet, or if you use Twitter mostly for asinine inside jokes with your friends, maybe don't list yourself here), add yourself to this thread. From time to time I (@D3Keith) will update this original post with the new adds to be a reference point for anyone who wants/needs to contact someone. If you want off the list, also let me know. Open to suggestions as to how to maintain it.
Here's the starter list (remember it's unfinished, no offense if I forgot you):

Okay added everybody on here and started combing my Twitter followers for more players & ex-players to list.
Never have so many Twits (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCyr1ugzxXM&feature=fvwrel) been in one place.
Couldn't resist ;D
Excellent. I guess I fall into the alum/fan category. @wallywabash

Last Saturday was the first time I really used Twitter hardcore to keep up with the happenings across the nation. Loved it! Concise and fun to read.
Keith, here's a couple more for the list:
@coachDeanPaul
@Andrew_Lovell
@adamturer
And yeah, there are tons of team sites, but conference accounts might be a little more digestible:
@OHAthleticConf
@odacathletics
@NCAC
@usa_south
@CentennialConf
@SCAC_Sports, too.

I just realized there's no way I'm going to have time to sit down and compile the Twitter list. I realize Twitter lets us use lists ... I just thought it would be cool to have our own mildly searchable database. Especially of players and coaches. Schools and conferences, it's easy to know what to look for and follow them. People, you just don't know who is tweeting and what they are calling themselves necessarily. But the star tweeters eventually rise to the top, I suppose.
Anyway keep adding to the thread if you want.
Ryan, it is pretty cool on a Saturday afternoon to watch the comments and scores roll in.
You can now add (509)Rat (whitworth poster) from the NWC football and hoops board to the twitter world
