Who's tweeting? Check Jockipedia - Jul 08, 2009 | 15:11:04
posted by: Molly Gallagher
While twitter continues to blow up in the social networking sphere, Douglas Warshaw is attempting to make it a bit more user friendly to the average sport fan. Warshaw, a former network news reporter, has created what he refers to in an article with the New York Times as "an interactive phonebook" that links you to your favorite athlete's social networking Web sites. Set up similar to the popular search engine Wikipedia, Warshaw's Jockipedia allows for fans to update an athlete's page. Warshaw's goal is to have every athlete at every level with a page on Jockipedia alongside coaches, owners and sports aficionados. The site has 3,600 athlete pages and, according to the Times, about 40 percent have at least one link.

As an educator, umpire/official, ex college/professional athlete, and past coach I believe it is our top job to guarentee our athletes recognize it is education first and athletic success second.
