I don’t go to Charles Barkley for dissertations on sports media savvy, nor do I expect him to get why Twitter is pretty awesome, so I can laugh at this:
Don’t spend time looking for Charles Barkley’s Twitter account.
“I’m not a damn loser,” he told radio host Dan Patrick.
Asked whether his buddies Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods Twittered, Barkley said “I hope they got a life.”
For a while, it was just the bloggers that were losers. Now everyone is using Twitter, and everyone is a loser. Which, when I think about it, means I owe Twitter quite a lot. Thanks, Twitter!

Charles view of people that Twitter
If Twitter is for losers then where is Charles Barkley’s championship ring? I admire Charles some times but some times he should think before he speaks.
