MAKING THE CONNECTION: SI.com Managing Editor Matt Bean said, “Twitter’s the platform of choice for athletes and coaches to share vital news about their health, their careers, and their lives off the court or field. Consider this: In the last year alone we’ve seen several Twitter holdouts from the sports world join up: Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson, and Mario Balotelli to name a few.” He added, “If stars of that magnitude are communicating directly with the world using the platform, then we’re duty-bound to incorporate it into our reporting and publishing strategy” (SOCIALTIMES.com, 9/25).

REACTION: SI’s Richard Deitsch wrote on his Twitter feed, “Props to @aliciakate11 and @iblend for design and development genius on #SITwitter100. Two talented people.” BC Place Manager of Event Sales & Corporate Partnerships Cameron Kusch wrote, “You could put just about anyone on the #SITwitter100 list. My one follow would still be @bruce_arthur. Has a way of speaking my conscience.” Former USOC Chief of Int’l Relations Bob Fasulo: “Dear @SINOW, I get that you're serving US readers but maybe you need to do a separate #SITwitter100 for int'l feeds. (Sports) world is big.” ESPN.com’s Darren Rovell noted his absence from the list. He wrote, “no its on purpose I'm sure.”
