From Forbes.com: Social networking has clearly reached a tipping point. Sites like MySpace and Facebook boast hundreds of millions of members. Barack Obama’s presidential victory demonstrated that platforms like YouTube and Twitter could transform electoral politics. Yet in corporations where such tools have been expected to bring profound transformations, there has been strong resistance to change.
Not here.
WPS, and our Commissioner in particular, recognizes the unique opportunity social media presents us. I’ve started to compile a comprehensive list of all the WPS Tweeters. Here’s the ones I already know are in the Twitter-mix off-hand (more will follow – I will keep a comprehensive list for you here and on my Big Soccer blog).

WPS is the hippest!!!
Hi Amanda,
hope all is well. Big day coming up. I could not find Tonya Antonucci on Twitter. Are you sure she is signed up yet? I found, Joe, Tony and Lisa no problem.
I noticed that the Red Stars is well represented on Twitter. You wouldn’t have anything to do with that now would you :-)
Cheers
Tim
Great idea, Im looking forward to the views of players etc during games. I hope it develops so the English FA take it on board. Im still not sure which team to support but it may come down to who is best on Twitter.
