Some dorky twitter etiquette for everyone....I've been bad at this lately....
If you're nabbing a score from someone else's twitter....use the retweet function to give proper credit to your source.
So...you get a tweet from OHSAA_scores that says "Whitmer 28, MAssillon 24" and you want to send that to your followers....click retweet. It just republishes that tweet on your feed, but also gives credit to "Ohsaa_scores" as the original tweeter.
If you're texting updates and can't use the retweet function....your manual tweet should read "RT @ohsaa_scores: Whitmer 28, Massillon 24." Again, this alerts your followers, but gives proper credit to the original tweeter.
You can add a comment about the tweet you are retweeting....just to give it some life.
This was one of my tweets Saturday....
Great weekend for the Wayne County League. Dalton, Hillsdale & Norwayne all win. RT @ohsaa_scores FINAL: Norwayne 26 Crestview 20 #ohiofb

@ohsaa_scores is going to be tweeting tonight #ohiofb
This worked GREAT last night!!!! Having @ohsaa_scores tweet each #ohiofb reference was good so I can just follow @ohsaa_scores instead of having to go to the browser on my phone and search for #ohiofb. Loved having the scores on my Twitter widget on one of the main pages of my phone... easy and quick access. Couldn't have asked for anything better!
