There’s a lot of things you can do with Twitter but sometimes you run across something that’s a head-scratcher.
A good example is Peter Robert Casey, who is going to live Tweet the St. John’s University’s men’s basketball games this year after being given media credentials.
Technically, I’m sure someone who types fast can live Tweet basketball but is there really a market out there for this kind of “play by play”? Are people really going to check in to see the latest update?
I’d like to say that this idea is going to fail but sports fans are a strange bunch, which is why fans is short for fanatics. Who knows, maybe a wave of 140-characters updates is going to satisfy the need to know what’s happening.

For more, the New York Times recently did an interview with Casey.
