Event 13: What's Twitter, a Bird?

$350 + $50 Seniors (50+) No Limit Hold'em

Miller, Little, (dealer), & Childs

While the 6-max tournament has a younger crowd embracing new technology, the Senior players bring a mixed bag.

One table has a couple of players with active Twitter accounts, while Werner Miller (Hazlet, NJ) quips, "What's that, a bird?

Tim Little (Cheverly, MD) is trying to connect with Bill Childs (Southern Pines, NC) who are at the same table.

Little Tweets:

Tim Little ‏@SavingTheGreen
Borgata ev13 and today I draw The William Lee Childs to me left

....no rebuys today it's the seniors Lee's father

************

Bill Childs is the father of 2007 WSOP Final Tableist Lee Childs

Bill, @bill_childs, has yet to tweet today.

One other player shows his experience and while he's not on Twitter remembers Usenet saying, "it was the internet before there were websites."

Accoring to Wikipedia, Usenet was conceived in 1979 and is superficially a hybrid of email and web forums.
