I was wondering if any of you would be interested in my senior seminar documentary film about Twitter and sports. It covers everything from the media, to fans and coaches. One section in particular covered Ryan Spadola and Yuri Wright....just interested in seeing if my fellow AGS community would be interested if I provided the youtube link....? thanks

Also absolutely. And agree, makes sense to keep the video restricted, you never know who might steal stuff.

First: Part 6 has already (in between your posting and the time it took me to watch every video but the last one) received a WMG/EMI copyright bs thing.

Second: Thanks! Some of the sound levels are WAY out there (some interviews only happen in one channel; underlying music in some parts is just a tad too loud to be able to hear you clearly, one interview with the local sportscaster is WAY loud) - minor quibble, easy to fix if you use it in your CV. A well-structured and well-constructed documentary that primarily does just observe and let the interviewees present the story, with both pro & con viewpoints and some SWOT analysis on twitter itself (even if I could go the rest of my life without seeing another #linsanity hashtag).

The only topic I would've liked to have seen more is the role of twitter in recruiting college players; although that does get the other n word involved (NCAA), it's still a fascinating topic for me, as twitter helps give small colleges a broader reach, as well as another way for coaches to see a bit more about any recruit's character.

Personally, I think it will be interesting to see this next season in particular, as twitter seems to have hit a major saturation point and a large number of college coaches are trying to prevent most player tweets, while some players are focusing more on their own cult of personality and building their brand than their own skills (e.g., Harrison Barnes at UNC).
