Thanks, Darren, for the write-up! It will definitely be interesting to see how sports media relations evolves as the web continues to change. It has it’s pros and its cons, but thus far in tennis, Twitter has proven to be a vital asset for not just the players, but fans and the media.

No way to know if someone received your response, but if you go to twitter.com, login, and click @[YourUserName] (on the right sidebar), you will see who has responded to you.

I still don’t understand how to know if someone has responded to one of my posts, or how to know if someone I responded to received my response.

It may only be 140 characters, but I bet there are still going to be a lot of fans asking athletes questions. Too many fans for the athlete to possibly address each one individually.

Twitter is a great medium for gaining fans and recognization, but it seems as though the only athletes that receive hype are the ones that use it in a negative manner. Clearly, most agents would rather their clients be seen in a positive light; especially if they aren’t superstars. Athletes that use Twitter in a positive way can definitely become more recognized by fans and put themselves in a position to progress themselves in their sport.
