Twitter is too Simple - Twitter is Just Right!


Twitter, the latest social network site to hit the online community. In my opinion twitter is simple, you upload a status telling friends and followers what you are doing and vice versa. People say "Why not get Facebook and have your actual friends speak to you, all Twitter does is let some stalkers see what your doing!" This is somehow true you may as well go on MSN or Facebook Chat and speak to your friends, but Twitter was set up to allow followers to keep up to date and in contact with their favourite Celebrities. For example, I follow Chad Ochocinco, DeSean Jackson, Tom Brady, Wes Welker & Randy Moss. I am now followed by NFL Fantasy Live, NFL.com & Cody Simpson.


As you can see, Twitter has been increasing every week! Just showing that simplicity is key. In my opinion, the Guardian and Telegraph Online are complicated websites to understand. Yes, it's set out basically - news here, sport here, games here - but it's the amount of content on the one page that gets to me. With twitter, you decide what appears, you decide what you read - simples ;)

In conclusion, Twitter is an outstanding piece of online networking because it's simple to use, easy to connect with people, and can give people of the public and insight of Celebrities lifestyle and can turn people into celebs just by getting loads of people subscribing to what they do and asking for information from them. Most of the successful people on Twitter, besides being Celebrities, are those that give answers. Some people make Twitter accounts just so that people can submit questions and they answer, this has given certain accounts thousands of followers within a few days.

Player Power - Sort It Out!

Rooney Signs New 5 Year Deal With Manchester United

For around the first 100 years of their existence professional footballers were treated much like workers in other industries. The employers held most of the cards and players received a rough deal. They had barely adequate pay, lacked influence and no real freedom of movement.

Now, football has taken a turn for the worse. Players are payed ridiculous amounts of money (Rooney recieves around £250k per week), and even this doesn't satisfy them. Firstly, they get paid loads and are expected to do what the club wants them to do, this is how football used to be, why has it changed? Simple, player power has developed. Since clubs decided to pay their Key Players outstanding amounts of money players have started to not live up to the standards expected.

In the early 1950s player wages increased to £20. This was £5 more than the regular weekly wage of a normal working class citizen. How things have changed! The players now recieve what they want, when they want... Player Power!

Players rights are now at no end. If they want, they can insist on sticking to the length of their contract being respected. We have had multi-millionaire players who prefer to sit on the bench for years and collect a fortune rather than be transferred. Others choose to see out their contract and leave to stuff their already full pockets' on anything they desire
If a player decides to break his contract and move on – to play in Europe or, in Tevez's case, to be closer to his family, the Club can do nothing other than sell the player. Some can be real reasons, homesickness. However, most of the time they are rubbish, the player just wants to earn more money.
Fans can try all they want to keep the player at the club, e.g. Cristiano Ronaldo, but in all truth the player doesn't give a toss. All he wants is to move to a bigger club, if you can get much bigger than Man Utd, and rake in the cash.

Player power has proven a big topic in the news lately, Carlos Tevez was eventually persuaded by Roberto Mancini to stay without a wage rise, but players like Rooney need to get their priorities straight. You signed a contract stick with it, and live with it!

Now I ask you, my readers, what is your view on this topic. Do you believe player power is a huge aspect of todays game? What do you think will happen next? Will players continue to ask for more wages or move? What do you think?
