Everyday sports teams find new ways to engage their fans on Twitter. For many smaller teams, especially those in the minor leagues, Twitter is an easy way to grow your brand beyond your immediate geographic area. To that end, many Minor League Baseball (MiLB) teams and personnel have taken to using Twitter to reach fans.
Our “Teams & Leagues” directory already contains over 100 MiLB teams on Twitter. One thing I’ve heard consistently from people working in baseball is that they’d like to have a way to reach others in their industry via Twitter.
Today we’re launching the MiLB on Twitter directory here at Sportsin140.com. Our goal is to make it easy for all MiLB personnel on Twitter to find each other. Think about it: if your team is doing well in ticket sales but struggling in sponsorship sales, sometimes you can turn things around just by implementing a suggestion from a colleague from another team.
Twitter is all about sharing information. Professionals that work in the minors already exchange information. This directory is designed to help facilitate that exchange of information in a new way, via Twitter. If you’re already using Twitter, why not let it “work for you?”
This directory is opt-in only. If you work in the industry and would like to be added, please do so by leaving a comment here or by @ replying to @Sportsin140.com on Twitter. Thank you!

After a short period of beta testing, Twitter has unveiled its much talked about “lists” feature for all users this week.
What are Twitter lists?
Twitter lists are simply user created lists of other users. They work in much the same way as friend lists work on Facebook. I can create a list for fellow Indians and Bruins fans, a list of official team accounts, a list of college friends, etc. Users can opt to publish these lists right on Twitter, thereby allowing other users to follow everyone on the list with one click.
Sports fans are already creating hundreds of lists of different Twitter users everyday. We at Sportsin140.com made our first list on Friday of all 30 NHL teams on Twitter. Look for more lists coming soon.
So, what do lists mean for sports fans on Twitter? Well lists will make it easier to find fellow fans from your favorite teams. They will also make it easier to find athletes on Twitter as fans list players from their favorite teams. One thing that lists won’t do is they won’t make it easier to know which athlete Twitter accounts are legitimate. Count on Sportsin140.com to remain your source for confirming athlete Twitter accounts. For now enjoy Twitter’s new lists feature and please post any interesting lists you come across in the comments section here.
