PrintI fought it for the longest time. For some reason it just didn't sound right to me, people putting up little tidbits of what their doing at all times like a bunch of narcissistic nerds. Who really cares right?? well here i am and i have a weird fascination with it and now its my most useful tool to collect all my sports information at the speed of TWITTER! So here we go, feel free to share your social networking information with the BE army if you feel like it.
Twitter ID: Blazinatrail
And now that our roster is set for next year how many games are we winning next year? I'm putting down 59

I am avoiding Twitter and will do for the next 990 days.
It is evil.
I could have sacrificed goin' out
To think my homies who did it, I used to joke about
From now on I'ma use self control instead of birth control
Cause $315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth it
I know thats how i felt
initially, but something changed, mostly when i started following media members i think

Twitters and that is more than enough to get me on board

This is true.
The part about Twitter being evil, that is.
I’m not biting. Not yet anyway. No twitter for me.
It is pretty useful for like a realtime RSS Feed
especially during the Blazer Season……….my Twitter name is in the Signature.
I put us down for 58 wins.

Somebody explain twitter to a stupid person (that would be me).
Ok, I get the thing where you follow somebody and you recieve all their “tweets” (weren’t these e-mail lists a few years ago?)
I was listening to Mike & Mike this week when Ashton Kutcher was on and said he had over 3 million followers. Now, presumably these 3 million people are tweeting Ashton, too? How do you deal with millions of tweets in your inbox everyday? Or is it a one way street? Am I just completely not getting it?
Explain the whole twitter thing in 10 words or less.
The cowards never started
The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived
They were the Trailblazers
Facebook Status Updates on Steroids
is a good way to think of it in about 5 words.
But a little longer, its become more than just people saying “i am eating”, its now turned to basically people sharing information in virtually real time, and depending on who you follow, that information can chance. I follow 99% NBA fans, so 99% of my tweets are about sports/NBA.
Also interesting is, as more people become comfortable with twitter, the tweets become a little more information focused (more sharing of news, rather than about themselves) Look at this diagram, which is like Maslows Hierarchy of needs.

Also, famous people are among the most boring people to follow. The interesting thing is that you can reach famous people easily, but all in all less famous people have more relevant things to say.
The growth is enormous, even for a web service. It’s easy to understand, and for some reason – maybe the name, maybe the concept, maybe the ease of use, maybe the ubiquity – people can’t stop talking about it.
The current infrastructure is weak, but potentially hundreds of millions of people could use it. Even in regions where they don’t have access to a computer. But a lot more have a cellphone (I have seen that extensively in Africa and parts of Asia), many with internet access.
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
If I remember correctly
None of these social networking sites turn any kind of profit. I think facebook was in the red by 900 million dollars last year. It’s interesting to keep the infrastructure in place they need to spend money, but no one has figured out how to make money, yet.

Depends. Search is very profitable, every percentage point in market share is worth about $1 billion in revenue. YouTube is not. Facebook I don’t know, but a number of companies would pay a lot to acquire it and their ad business should be profitable soon or already is. Twitter earned money last years as far as I know, but low millions. Monetizing that won’t be easy since people are reluctant to accept ads as tweets. They plan to introduce “verified accounts” at a cost, but that’s only interesting to businesses and people who are businesses.
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
Also keep in mind, that they just rolled out their Realtime search
which is extremely valuable and essentially the first of its kind.
This is a HUGE opportunity for companies to market to users based on realtime comments, and complaints.
And a lot of time these social networks start with the “if u build it they will come” model, where they dont monetize immediately, they just first focus on getting people to come to the site, then working on Ads/search/etc.
Because the internet is so fragmented, these sites that organize the internet that everyone goes to is extremely valuable even from a data POV (which companies can sell to other companies)
Rip City Baby...People have no idea what is coming.

Also true. The instant feedback models could make it valuable. Instantly tracking what people are doing on websites is already a big business (e.g. when a company just had an ad on TV, a new product launch, etc). When you couldn’t just monitor behavior but also get written feedback from customers that could be big for market tests.
E.g. Holiday Inn is just relaunching their brand and redecorating their hotels. They have a website for that, but so far their feedback is from some focus group interviews and forms filled out by guests earlier. After clicking on their website, I would have had some questions or comments, but nowhere to get it too and it’s not big enough for me to start composing an elaborate email.
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
My understanding is that everyone is competing for ad money
which hasn’t quite come to the interwebs, yet. As I remember, 50 billion dollars was spent on online ads, compared to 500 billion dollars spent in traditional mediums. So, no one has quite figured out how to tap that vein—namely convincing companies to spend online. The unique phenomenon with facebook, is that everyone uses their real name and location (for the most part). Also, facebook is mostly hidden from google, which means you have this immense field of people searching, clicking, ‘fanning’, etc on facebook, that google can’t organize and show. All of the changes in facebook over the past year have been an attempt to make the best use of advertising for the individual. I think their dream, is something like in “Minority Report”—you login and they have suggested ads. They know what you buy, what you like, etc…

This is one of the articles that I’ve re-conjured into my mind:
by EvilKaramazov on Aug 14, 2009 9:34 AM PDT up reply actions
Advertising will be a smaller more targeted market in the future. But with the newspaper business going broke and TV still not allowing for good feedback and targeting, online advertising will only grow and get more creative and “useful”.

When an ad shows me something I’m currently interested in that is great, e.g. a good price for a rental car or hotel to a flight on a travel website, Amazon’s “people who bought this also bought that” can be helpful, etc. But too often it’s just spam. And I filter banner ads and Google text ads for years. I haven’t seen 99% of those since about 2005.
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
I don't like anything suggested to me.
It inherently means they’ve been watching me, tracking me, and now trying to predict what I might want. I know it’s better for the customer, but I think the cost of privacy is too much.
by EvilKaramazov on Aug 14, 2009 9:47 AM PDT up reply actions
The basic principle is: If you create data, you can be sure someone can and will use that.
If you use a credit card, someone uses that information. If you use a customer loyalty card, someone uses that information. If you use a cellphone, someone will track where you are. The Internet is not that different, just more obvious.

I don't do Twitter
I don’t have a fancy phone, and twitter seems like something one should do with a fancy phone. Also, I’m not sure I’d be much of a Tweeter. I’m suspicious of social networking—I took down my facebook page a couple weeks ago.
You don't necessarily need a fancy phone, just a phone with a text plan.
I’m debating about taking my facebook page down too. I’m starting to apply to jobs and even though I’ve already untagged any pictures of me out drinking/partying it’s still possible to find those pictures if you were motivated enough. Luckily the only picture of me to be found on a google search is the one posted on my lab’s website.

There are like 400 photos of me
with, i don’t know, 6 different kind of mustaches, 20 different ways to consume pbr, etc… My page was pretty much out of control. The whole idea that all these people were/are my ‘friends’ is pretty ridiculous. And, I don’t really care what kind of character/actor/color/smell they might be on any given facebook test. And, I’m equally uninterested in what people might be ‘fans’ of. I put the whole thing to a test though—for the month of july I made an observation everyday. And some of them were really good (like the propensity for females to have the profile picture from above, capturing face and cleavage—something I thought should be responded to with a below my belt, upward profile pic)—I got into a lot of digital mire for them. So after that month, I’m now taking this one off…

I used to hate the idea of Twitter.
But now, even with policies being set to counteract this trend, Twitter is becoming one of the best places to hear about breaking news first. I don’t really have a buncha friends on there. I’m just there for the information. It’s coming more and more straight from the horse’s mouth rather than from the media directly (although the information from media member tweets can be great as well.)
Yes! Yes! In the face!
It's also a great way to spread
hype and hysteria. I can’t wait for The Swine Flu 2.0 via Twitter.

It's NBC's fault, not Hulu's
Though I think on their own website they don’t block it. At least they didn’t a few weeks ago. Same with Comedy Central. It’s weird, do they want Hulu to become the alternative for people without TV access to their content or not.

I heard today G.I. Joe was a better movie than expected from two critics
Although it’s definitely not a movie directed at adults, they said their “inner kid” and any real boy between like 8-15 would love it. It works as an over the top comic book/series adaptation.

No, it was Houston's pick. And KP jumped over the Spurs to take him.
Phoenix took Robin Lopez fair and square at #15, a pick they got from Atlanta. Their own pick went to OKC and became Serge Ibaka at #24, along with their unprotected pick next year, from the Kurt Thomas trade/cost cutting.

Don't know if it's interesting to you, but I looked it up for Dave's post after people said the West was aging badly and we could basically just wait out everyone else. Not really true.
Some teams feel older – or younger – than they are. Average age as of now:
Mavericks: 28.3
Spurs: 28
Lakers: 27
Rockets: 27
Hornets: 27
Nuggets: 26.8
Suns: 26.3
Clippers: 26.2
Wolves: 25.9
Jazz: 25.4
Warriors: 25.2
Blazers: 24.6
Kings: 24.5
Thunder: 23.8
Grizzlies: 23.8
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
The average age stat was always funny to me
I ain’t asking ya to do the work, but the average age of those who matter on a lot of those teams is kinda old.
Terry/Dirk/Josh Howard/Marion, getting up there.
Duncan and Manu, Parker is young though.
Billups is getting older and I don’t think they’re as good without him at all.
Nash is about to die; he will be the oldest man to ever live on opening night.

Average doesn't really matter, age of core players do

Kobe has a lot of NBA mileage… I wonder how many years he has left.
The Hornets are very good, will be better than people think, but probably won’t ever be title-level.
Utah, post-Boozer, is Deron + Millsap + mentally fragile Kirilenko + older Okur. We’re better than them.
Mavs are flat-out old.
Spurs depend on Duncan. He is getting up there.
In two years, I think we’re the easy #1 seed.
optimism ftw
Yeah most likely.
But you never know how these things work.
Garden Variety Internet Denizen
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
true… but looking at the key players on each team, there will be a lot of decline. Dirk, Billups, Kobe, Nash, Duncan, etc. probably will have declined a bit in two years.
I read somewhere that Kobe has 16 years of NBA experience with playoff games accounted for… he’s already played in as many playoff games as Jordan did.
optimism ftw
Yeah this is true.
But there are a lot of variables that will effect teams, trades, injuries etc.
I agree though, I think we will be making a strong push for best in the west and maybe league in 2010-2011.
Garden Variety Internet Denizen

according to nba.com Kobe is still 20 some games behind Jordan. Horry leads all though, with 244 playoff games played…
by EvilKaramazov on Aug 14, 2009 3:55 PM PDT up reply actions
My point is rather that you can't out-age the competition. Opposing teams are reloading.
You have to add the players you need for the championship run that year every season. Soon when the Blazers are capped out, they will have to rely on those 3-4 core players too. And surround them with good complimentary players.
People are talking about the Celtics or Spurs or Lakers aging out of competition for years. It won’t happen soon.
The Mavericks will have some weaker years once Dirk retires, but that also doesn’t happen immediately and they have a rich owner and a lot of flexibility until then. The other teams won’t just wait out for the Blazers to hit their prime.
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
I do agree with that point
You can’t just sit and hope that everyone else just gets old and dies and we remain the only standing decent team. Trades will happen, draft steals, surprise stars, etc.
The smarter older teams will get good again, bad teams will become gooder, its the circle of life.
People are really writing off the Hornets… watch out for them this year. They won nearly 50 games with Sean Marks and Hilton Armstrong as the primary centers for half the year. They’ll win 52+ this year, I think about 54.
optimism ftw
I think they are a 50+ win team
But the Blazers are clearly better than them.
Garden Variety Internet Denizen
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
we’d beat them in a playoff series, to be sure… but I think they have an excellent chance to be a great regular season team.
optimism ftw
But does that really mean all that much?
They will be a good team, but the second round in the playoffs seems like their ceiling. And with Peja turning into a giant useless contract they are really lacking talent outside of Paul, West, and Okafur.
Garden Variety Internet Denizen
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
Julian Wright, if Byron Scott would let him play out his mistakes, could be a very nice complementary player. That’s four fairly young and very talented core pieces to build around.
Ultimately, they won’t win a title… but they will be better than the 7 seed most project them to be.
optimism ftw
They would really need some help at the wing
Unless Posey finds back to his former self and Peja’s back heals, that part of the roster looks bad. Great point guard, good front court, big hole in between.
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
Julian Wright could be really, really good given the proper minutes to develop. If Byron lets him develop, then their only hole will be bench and SG.
optimism ftw
I’ve long wished that Martell could be given to New Orleans. He doesn’t really have a role here with Nic taking the SF spot… but his off the ball movement, shooting ability, decent to above average athleticism… he would be a dynamic player next to Chris Paul.
optimism ftw
Wilbon is an idiot
He thinks Dirk Nowitzki is soft because the Mavs don’t give him free for the EuroBasket, when two sentences earlier he remarked that Cuban was never happy with international tournament stress for his players, rambling about players of the past that wouldn’t have allowed their owners or coaches to make that decision.
a) He would violate his contract and possibly not have insurance if he played anyway
b) He has played internationally for the past 10+ years every summer. Has he suddenly turned soft?
I hate that “soft” image European players get. Dirk is among the players missing the least games among big men, playing injured and returning when not completely healthy more often than once. He is not a good defender but an underrated rebounder banging against smaller players undercutting him and big guys fighting for position every night. And internationally he gets double and triple teamed. Idiot.
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
Yeah Dirk will be a very underrated player in NBA history unfortunately
Garden Variety Internet Denizen
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
I think most Euros
get a “soft” image because they are way more prone to flop, complain, not play defense, and are not “bangers” in the post. I think it’s more that than not playing a lot of games. There are exceptions to that image, like Marc Gasol, but I wouldn’t say Dirk is one of those exceptions. But even though Dirk is, in my opinion, “soft” he is one of the better players in the NBA. But he’s not really a post player and he plays at PF. If he played at SF, where his skill set seems to be, I don’t think he’d have the “soft” label. Which is kinda weird now that I think about it.

This threat about DeRozan is pretty funny. Apparently he is Toronto's new Chuck Norris
http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=931066&start=30
I heard that DeMar DeRozan doesn’t use oven timers. He tells the food when its done.
it’s good to hear that DeMar – the man who CAN believe it’s not butter. while dividing by zero – is so driven.
DeMar destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.
I heard DeMar DeRozan is the only thing Chuck Norris fears
Derozan’s tears can cure cancer. Too bad he’s never cried.
I heard that when DeMar DeRozan dunks he doesn’t jump, he tells the ground to lower
DeMar DeRozan doesn’t have acne, he had a basketball skin grafted to his face.
Once a grizzly bear threatened to eat Demar Derozan. DD showed the bear his shooting hand and the bear proceeded to eat himself, because it would be the less painful way to die.
DeMar DeRozan got a perfect score on his SAT’s, simply by writing “DeMar DeRozan” for every answer.
DD fathered the ’95-96 Chicago Bulls team and their coaching staff.
