Philadelphia

There are few things in life (family, friends, & my cat) that I love more than the city of Philadelphia and sports. I was born and raised in the city, and I’m a lifelong Philly sports fan. One of my first sports memories is Joe Carter hitting a three-run walk-off home run against closer Mitch Williams, propelling the Toronto Blue Jays into a World Series victory over his hometown Phillies. Sigh.

A big complaint about today’s Internet is that there is “so much noise” and it’s too hard to find the content you care about among all the other stuff out there. I agree, there is a lot of noise, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I’d rather everyone had a voice than only a select few. Plus, Twitter is a great platform for getting through the noise and to the stuff you really care about. Why? Because you choose the people you follow. Essentially, you choose the amount of noise you want to see and hear. If you only want to follow people who talk about peanut butter, that is entirely possible. [click to continue…]
