New to the website this season is Twitter, an online service that lets us post fast-breaking information to the site and to each other. You'll find this section throughout the site--it contains information about the team, schedule changes, meet results and random comments.

If you aren't familiar with Twitter, don't worry, you don't have to do anything different. (No need to create an account or download a special application or visit any particular website.) For most people, all you'll really need to know is that the most up-to-date information about the team will likely appear in the "mgmtwitter" section of the web site first.

But for those of you who have smart phones, or just want to be able to take part in the ongoing MGM conversation, I highly recommend downloading a Twitter application and following our team news feed. (They are available for all kinds of phones--Twitterific on the iPhone; TwitterBerry on the BlackBerry. Google for your phone's particular flavor.)

Once installed, you'll be able to receive instant team updates, and –coolest of all–even post your own comments to mgmtwitter section.(That's one of the great things about this service--any team member can add news or comment on another post. Did you just swim a personal best? Post it to our site through Twitter. Get to the AgSchool and find out the pool is closed? Tell other members about it through Twitter so they don't have to drive all the way over.)
