How Twitter is Changing the World of Professional Poker

Yesterday’s New York Times ran an article about how poker players are using Twitter. I can’t say it’s particularly thorough and insightful, in fact it seems to be based almost entirely on an interview with Joe Sebok of Poker Road, it’s neat to see our little world getting some mainstream attention.

As reporter Marshall Kirkpatrick notes, “Big name players are Tweeting but small timers at the big show are too. Traditional poker reporting didn’t shed much light on the experiences of amateurs, but Sebok says those players on the margins can now tell their families and friends to check Twitter for play by play accounts of their experiences in Vegas.”

As it happens, I myself will be Tweeting from the WSOP on @thinkingpoker. So follow along!
