ATQ's guide to following the Ducks on Twitter
We joke around in the comment threads often: "I know its true because I heard it on Twitter." While Twitter can be a source of misinformation, it can also be a great source of information when used properly. Want real time practice updates? Twitter is the place to be. Recruiting tidbits without forking out money for a subscription? Twitter. Everything that hits the news usually shows up on Twitter first. This list is not comprehensive, so please share the people you like to follow. For those of you who haven't found your way over to Twitter yet, here is your guide to following the Ducks:
Addicted to Quack on Twitter:
@AddictedToQuack -- ATQ's official Twitter page. Dvieira does a great job running this. You'll find links to all our new articles, plus Dom's take on various topics Duck sports.
@atqdave -- My Twitter page. I usually talk college football, though occasionally mix in a political rant as well.
@mattdaddysblog -- Matt Daddy's Twitter page. He tweets less often, and usually in response to others.
Oregon Media:
@DuckFootball -- Rob Moseley's page, pretty much the best single person to follow. Real-time practice updates, opinions, lots of information. He's also really good about answering questions as well.
@AdamJude_RG -- Rob Moseley's #2 as far as covering Oregon football. Has all the information when Rob is not around. He also covers Oregon baseball for the Register-Guard, and has a lot of good information for them as well.
@GeorgeSchroeder -- Tweets quite a bit, usually defending the positions in his columns. Also discusses his SI stuff.
@JohnCanzanoBFT -- pass
@KenGoe -- The best of the Oregonian writers on Twitter. You'll get lots of links, lots of news, and all the track and field information you could ever want.
@AaronJFentress -- The Oregonian's UO beat writer this season. We'll see how he utilizes his Twitter page.
@LindsayRae19 -- Also covering the Ducks for the Oregonian this season. She's a prolific Tweeter, so we'll see how she uses her page for this.
@Bachscore -- Rachel Bachman, a surprisingly good follow
@PDXjay -- Jay Allen is sports director at 750 The Game in Portland. He'll have Duck and Blazer information, as well as programming tweets.
@Pnbuker -- Oregon State's Oregonian beat writer, good for lots of links and snarky comments (but will take it as well as dish it)
@odesports -- The sports account for the Daily Emerald, Oregon's student newspaper
@ESPN_Pac12blog -- ESPN's Ted Miller. Follow this, and you'll get all the big Pac-12 news.

Current and Former Oregon Players:
This group varies in the frequency and quality of their tweets. Remember, these are these kids' personal Twitter accounts, and most of the stuff is college kids being college kids. Most of these won't be worth your time, but I really recommend following Spencer Paysinger and George Wrighster.

Someone please post...
a pic of our Pac 10 champions ring. I can’t find it anywhere. (From 2010).
I need closure.
Not much of a twitterer
Does following this many people turn into a chore? I’d imagine every hour there would be a billion new tweets to read, most of which are boring.

Your imagination is spot on
I recently started following a few Duck, Timbers and Arsenal-related folks. It’s 99% drivel, 1% useful information. So, exactly like the internet.

Sadly, yes.
I really depends on how much time you spend reading tweets. I found my 1 hour (round trip) commute wasn’t enough time to keep up. Links can be tricky, as you need to be able to download webpages. As prolific as Twitter has become, most webpages aren’t well set up for mobile access.
I recently scaled back from 90-110 accounts to about 45. I subscribe to @chipisms, @DuckFootball, @ESPN_Pac12blog, @kengoe and @GeorgeSchroeder (beginning to annoy me lately) @supwitchugirl & @DuckSportsNow. There’s a lot of cross tweeting.
I follow some inspirational quote accounts (bots?) and some funny accounts.

I "unfollowed" Schroeder
because he was driving me nuts. Anything he says that’s actually interesting usually gets RTed by someone else anyway, so I made my teeny-tiny statement. So there, Schroeder!
Enough of soccer and baseball and golf and everything else that's not football. Stupid offseason...

"Hooray for our side!"
I unfollowed him within minutes of posting above. Felt better after that.

I think I originally followed him because my friend said he did the play by play for football games.
This was incorrect, so I signed up with ESPN mobile to receive a text message after every score. I may have made it through the Tennessee game before turning it off. Definitely Portland State. 8-P

I just got over the idea of reading everyone’s every tweet. Most people I just check up on whenever I log on, and then I have a list of folks that I read fully.
Also, I usually refer to @edsbs for describing the nature of Twitter:
For you people expecting Twitter to be a place of moderation and calm: GET OFF THE LUGE RUN THIS THING RUNS ON BLADES AND ICE.
Complaining about false rumors on Twitter is like complaining about getting mugged in Lima. IT’S PART OF THE EXPERIENCE

Not really a chore for me
I follow most of these people (but only about 5 of the players) and I only check recent tweets once a day in the morning, on my iphone, while waiting in line at Starbucks. Part of this is because social media sites are blocked at work (Note to my large souless corporation: Let’s all get out of the 1990s at some point, mkay?). So, I miss 99% of what’s tweeted, but it doesn’t matter because all tweeted news is all over the internet all day anyway and I pick it up there.

You know what's weird about that??
I just saw that tweet about 1 week ago when I happened to click through the ‘mentions’ tab. It totally made me laugh, you stalker!
Fine, I’ll follow you – and never see 99% of your tweets either.

Once a day, usually in the morning will catch me up.
You’ll find that chore taking place where some people used to read the paper in the morning…for me at least.
If I wanted any lip from you, I'd unzip your pants.
The chore is waiting for the webpages to download
Not all BART tunnels are wired for access. Oh, and occasionally, they turn teh internets off. 8-P

Just saw him tweet some more injury news yesterday. He never tweeted as much as Goe and Buker.

Fentress and Goe are on the Oregon beat this year.
I can’t say I’m disappointed. Fentress has always seemed to do a good job.

Have different lists
I only have a few people whom I read most of their tweets (Moseley, Prehm, etc). The rest I have on lists, that I check only occasionally. Most of the players, almost never.

Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
Used to follow more players
but have unfollowed most of them because the banter of 18 to 22 year-olds is not really all that interesting. Sadly, none of the juicy, inside gossip that I had hoped for.

My Twitter for The Duck Stops Here is @Dale_Newton. I am a prolific though occasionally misguided Twitterer (is that a word?), a musty old used bookstore of Twitter, lots of Duck talk and reaction, occasionally entertaining pissing matches for anyone willing to take on a man who has unlimited time and the willingness to send Tweets at a blur-fast tempo.
You know Twitter only allows 140 characters per tweet, right? 8-P
