Episode 008: How to get Twitter Followers & Video Production in a Box

This week we detail how to grow your sports teams twitter account while answering a fan’s question. Also we bring something we found at NAB, Newtek’s Tricaster – live video production in a very affordable box, that will save you tens of thousands of dollars a year in labor and equipment. And as always we cover the latest news: UND Sioux logo change, Michael Vick, and this weeks penalty flag goes to Joe Maddon Tampa Bay Rays.
