Featured Blogger: Scott Whittum Talks Sports & Twitter

Patch loves its bloggers. 

This week we'd like to feature Scott Whittum whose latest post, How Twitter has Destroyed the Sonics vs Sacramento Kings Saga, weighs the pros and cons of social media's cnotributions to sports reporting.

While the service offers instant updates for crazed fans, it also offers an easily accessible platform for name calling, he writes.

"The point is Twitter with its anonymous handles and 140 character limits is highly conducive to name calling and insults."
