Oh, I didn't know this.

I hope someone informs Josh that an outstanding GPA at ISU + a stellar MCAT score + being a former D1 athlete = PICK YOUR MED SCHOOL.

So creepy that people follow high school recruits on twitter and fbook... Its one thing if they are actually athletes here, but even then...

Kind of the point of Twitter is following people.... I mainly follow our players, tech news people, a few celebrities, and friends. It's nice to know what recruits are saying also.

I do agree... If they have a public account i like to see their thoughts on visits though ( I wont friend request a person.) It's seems to be better than the standard interview you get on the recruiting sites. Grady did mention he thought it was colder at Wake than it was for his visit to Ames. He came up on a cold weekend.

To me Friend request on FB is way different than following on Twitter.

Your right, it's even more pathetic.

Great you don't use Twitter. You are so cool being such a rebel.

I don't use Twitter. I have no idea why people like it. I have no problem with people using it and following celebrities and friends, but when you friend (actually thinking about it, facebook is the more pathetic of the two when it comes to people you don't even know) a high school kid that is an athlete that you will likely never meet, or even attend the school you want him too, that is a form of stalking. You are essentially trying to peep into someones life and get to know them. Twitter it is just status updates on facebook. The difference is facebook can tap into everything in someones life. Celebrities have twitter so they can interact with fans. IMO, unless you are a celebrity, you are a creep for friending people you don't know.

Yeah this I totally agree with.

**RustShack** · 01-24-2011, 08:25 PM

I don't do it, but I don't see a problem with following anyone on twitter. Now adding random people on facebook is a little creepy.

**madcityCY** · 01-24-2011, 10:42 PM

FYI, you don't "friend" people on Twitter.

If those who are so afraid of it would learn something about it, they may not fear it.

So is the basis of this Twitter/Facebook debate that anonymous message board posters that cast judgments on others that they don't know are far superior people then the Twitter/Facebook users that follow people that they don't know?

There seems to be some irony in that argument.

Agree. I've never tweeted but I follow some ISU athletes on Twitter. If I ever friend request an athlete on FB please kill me...slowly. I'll deserve it.

Factually incorrect.
