    14th WKC Twitter

    FYI:

    http://twitter.com/taroariga

    Anyone know of a better source?

    Wish we could see video!

    refreshing... and refreshing...

    I keep refreshing KW's youtube page in hopes that something will be posted. Should have bought a ticket and gone myself.

    just saw this from the twitter feed:

    "Just played mj's thriller in the opening."

    You can do a search for wkc at search for wkc on twitters search site or through your favorite twitter client to get a stream of people tweeting about everything WKC related. If you use tweetdeck, you can set it as it's own column that will auto-refresh, which is nice.

    From the Australian twitter sounds like Kirby Smith, who posts here from time to time, made the quarters. Way to go, Kirby. He took out a Canadian to do it. Boo, Kirby.

    As much as I've tried to stay away from Twitter... following along was sort of a throwback to the old days (for me anyway). One person had a radio with an earpiece and would periodically announce the scores or big plays in the game.

    Gotta love technology.

    I like the Aussie commentary style. The final was a "torrid affair" eh? Guess there was more of the "rough kendo" so despaired of, but not an American in sight??

    A friend of mine is at the WKC. I just got an email from him saying he was watching the final match from 50 feet away. Lucky!
