joel The football fans who read The Press and Tower have their allegiances, and not only for a particular NFL team. The have a preference for NFL commentators as well. CBS’s Jim Nantz and Phil Simms narrowly won the “A-team” favorites poll with 33% of the picks, followed by NBC’s Al Michaels and John Madden, and Fox’s Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.
With all of the recent talk about Twitter, and the proliferation of social networking tools in the new media, we want to know about which Web 2.0 networks do you actually have accounts in. Do you blog, YouTube, or Facebook? Just commenting on a blog or bulletin board without signing up doesn’t count. We want to know about how you’ve actually put energy into establishing a MySpace or Twitter account. Multiple answers for this poll are accepted, so totals will exceed 100%. There are hundreds of apps, so if I missed your favorite, drop it in the comments and I’ll add it to the poll if we get at least two requests for it.
Which Web 2.0 applications do you have accounts in (choose all that apply)?
- Facebook (77%, 27 Votes)
- YouTube (69%, 24 Votes)
- MySpace (60%, 21 Votes)
