Big Ben on Twitter: Good Or Bad Idea?

[Soufjerzz]

Ben Roethlisberger has officially joined the social revolution and sign up for an twitter account. Follow Him and the other Steelers (Hines Ward, Ryan Clark, Troy Polamalu)
on twitter here:

http://twitter.com/7Roethlisberger

I made a list of compiled of the Steelers who have a twitter account.

What does Steeler Nation think? Does he use this to his advantage or dig himself in a deeper hole a la Santiono Holmes?

[CantStop85]

Are you sure that's him?

[Soufjerzz]

Ummm.. probably shouldve check that first....

[7willBheaven]

I wouldnt believe its him until its announced on his official site, confirmed by a teammate or the team, or turned into a verified account.

It just looks kind of odd...some of the stuff "he's" said or whatever...but i could be wrong.

[tony hipchest]

:chuckle:

premature postjaculation. this thread = bad idea.

[Shea]

Well ... it could be Ben. How can you tell?

Siss would probably know. She's our resident Benologist.

[tony hipchest]

Dunno if it's a good or bad idea, but the tweets sound a little cheesy to me.

[fansince'76]

Bad idea. The guy can't even go golfing right now without bad press following him. If he made even the slightest misstep, or even an innocent comment that was taken out of context, the media would be all over it like flies to dog shit.

This.

I would be surprised if it were really him. I would think his lawyers alone would nix the idea because of the Nevada trial situation.

[venom]

I don't think its him . But if it is , hes a very, very bad man .

I'm not even a "Benologist", and I can clearly tell that isn't Ben.

[SteelerSal]

Ben having anything social network wise is a bad idea. IMO

[Soufjerzz]

I apologized for jumping the gun. But it would be cool it really was him.

[HometownGal]

I'd have to say I'm in agreement with Sal here, buddy. I think for now and the immediate future, Ben should stay out of the public spotlight and concentrate on fooseball.

[fansince'76]

I apologized for jumping the gun. But it would be cool it really was him.

Ten bucks says the assclown Florio claims it really is him. And another twenty says 75% who read it believe it.

[JayC]

definately not him, those are some of the cheesiest tweets of all time.

[SirHulka]

Well, if you're a regular devotee of Florio, I guess that's what you deserve.

[Devilsdancefloor]

im sure he doesnt call hines "hinsey" lol those where so cheesy post. if it was him he needs to have a piss test cause he was high as a kite

[siss]

Siss would probably know. She's our resident Benologist.
In my expert opinion its not him.
1. Last summer Ben came out and said he doesn't use Twitter or Facebook
2. I hear Ben doesn't like facebook or twitter. He has (tweephobia, Twiphobia)

So my money is it not being him.

[Killer]

I don't know and don't care.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Interesting post on Twitter from Jim Wexell..

"jimwexell
Camp eve a great time for fresh starts. Follow 7Roethlisberger's tweets."

I sent him a message back asking if that is really Ben and did he confirm it with him...so it might be him afterall...but I'll await Wexell's reply to my message.

[siss]

Oh intrigue....
Its not him though, It was confirmed from me this morning.

[tony hipchest]

why would ben use a swollen headed, cut up face, picture of himself a week after his motorcycle accident as his profile/avatar?

[7willBheaven]

Another update (response from Wexell)

"jimwexell

No, I did not confirm that was Ben's account. Maybe I'm too trusting, but it read right to me."

And here i thought Jim checked his facts before posting, haha. And the mystery continues

[stillers4me]

Ther are no personal friends or family in his following list. It's all mostly well know Steelers related pages. That tells me that it's fake. Troy's has friends and family on the list.

[SteelCityMan786]

Whatever he chooses to do. Just as long as he isn't being stupid.

I can definitely see where your going with this...and i still dont believe its him...but I (and a lot of people i know) dont follow family/etc on Twitter...i use it to follow the famous types and stuff...I dont care to tell everyone "yep now I'm in the bathroom" or w/e i think its really dumb when it comes to that stuff and following friends/fam...when you can easily communicate with them in other ways. I like it for the interaction with the different athletes/celebrities/etc.

[siss]

Ha! I know its not him. He said he's going to go play madden 11. Ben doesn't play Madden. He likes the college football (see told you I was an expert!!)! Plus this guy spell...and lets just say I have on good authority that Ben can't!

[SMR]

Twitter is overrated. :coffee:

I don't know, it could be interesting...

Alrighty then .... :chuckle:

It is a fake account. Confirmed by Ben's agent himself.

This is why Siss is our forum Benologist!

She always gets the scoop, and knows everything that is going on in Ben land.
