A little update regarding closing or selling the site.
Epic Twitter Battle
The Musers discussed the 5th anniversary of the first ever tweet on Twitter a few days ago. Part of this discussion revolved around the obsession some ticket staffers have over the number of people following them. Later that day, BaD Radio also burned a segment chronicling Dan’s struggles with his new twitter account. I thought I’d throw up that audio, as well as a table of all of the Ticket twitter handles I could think of so that P1’s could figure out who to follow, and what the twit-pecking order is of ticket personalities. The table is sorted by number of followers and is current as of sometime around 11:00pm of March 23rd, 2011…do I know how to party, or what?
If I missed anyone, feel free to leave a comment. There are *many* fake accounts, but I’m pretty sure that all of the ones below are real (except for maybe the Teebox guys).

Thanks! Working on confirming that now.
You, sir, were ahead of the curve. Thanks for the tip!
Who uses the handle “TicketRadio”?
@TicketRadio is an avid listener, but not officially affiliated with the Ticket (or the UnTicket). He also follows a fair bit of social media stuff too. His bio reads:
Do you like this gig? That wasn’t the question! P1’s for 1310 The Ticket Jorts Radio. (Obviously an UNofficial account. official account: @dfwticket)
You forgot one obvious suspect @thefaketiger
Oh yeah… and @mushmouththomas
sticking with the real folks for now…but yeah, mushy, fake tiger, fake garret (myself), and I think TomG1310…mostly good bits…i think there’s one for norm’s cane too
In my effort to stay off the grid this makes me happy.

I got on Twitter last week. Although I’m only there to keep up with a few folks, and to post Muser Mumbles, which I have yet to do. So far, Shoopie and one p1 (I think) are following me. It’s a start.
Wait…your moniker is “Human, Internets”…I just assumed that you invented twitter!
Hey i was hoping someone can put up the audio fir Kangaroo Court. I was in class.
Willdo, eventually…still rolling a day behind.
Speaking of twitter… is anyone following @thefaketiger’s prodding of D.A. Points at the moment?
I just started following Casey Millen (@CMillen1310). Figured you might add him to the list of Twitter peeps.
I am merely a Human on the Internets. I shortened it. 😀
Uh…Corby?
