Live tweeting during the event turned out to be more fun than I expected it to be. I felt like I was more enthusiastic about the bus ride and match because I got to share the funny and edge-of-your-seat moments with others. I also got a like from Culver’s, so that was thrilling. However, I think it took away from my presence at the match, as I was so focused on keeping the Twitter world up to date that I forgot to cheer as much as I normally do.
After my tweets went out, I realized that people may or may not understand how tennis scoring works, so my tweets may have been confusing to them, which changed my perception of the tennis match I was tweeting about.
I think live tweeting is great for sporting events, because it keeps others informed of status of the game, without having to be there to watch it. I know my parents would love if all of my matches were live tweeted so they could keep track of how I’m doing.
I learned how to stream a live video to Twitter and how it automatically posts it even when you mess up.

Very interesting to follow a tennis event from the beginning to the end. It was also interesting to tweet @Culvers to get them involved with your pre-game meal. I enjoyed the comical beginning to your journey, really shows that the team has some fun even before a big match. The tweets were informative and were easy for anyone to follow. I do agree tennis scoring would be confusing to understand, but you’re concluding tweet from Rose-Hulman that shows the overall score would clear up any confusion that your team kicked Manchester’s butt. Congrats!
