How Is Everyone Finding Updated Information?


Recommended Posts

I used to swear by Bleacher report. We are talking 10+ years. I used twitter too for immediate updates. Now both are terrible. Bleacher report is a Shell of itself. Can y’all list below where to get live updates:

 

(I now mainly use twobilllsdrive, have been for 10 years) but where are people and how are you getting live updates of practices (twitter is hard, BR no more, bills radio sucks). 

please list below:

Twitter (X) is easily the go to app. 

The only time I ever go to Twitter is whenever somebody post a link I keep on hearing talk from everybody that they’re having problems with maxing amount of time on Twitter
 

I get my bills information from here and I’m subscribed to like a gazillion podcasts

Twitter is probably the best but at the same time, I only follow a handful of accounts so don't get a lot.  When you just look at the "for you" it will give you everything under the sun and likely very disorganized (stuff from 2 days ago mixed with 2 minutes ago).

 

Side note: has musk already bought the rights to DMX's music so he can start using "X gonna give it to ya" for online ads?

General mobile google alerts and browser notifications/suggestions keep me from falling TOO far behind (with Meta/facebook/Twitter/X underperforming 2nd/3rd hand trolling/talking points) the affirmed scientific consensus in 2023. Haven't ever set up a super conscious and intentional information diet...but we should all be ready for any/all content to reach us individually at any time.

I just listen to podcasts and read things on here. It's not that important to me to have immediate updates. Reading and listening at the end of the day is good enough for me. One Bills Live and Locked on Bills are daily and give all the updates.

That’s funny.  I used to swear at Bleacher Report.

 

But seriously, it’s here and Twitter.  Although Twitter does now suck.

 

There are numerous podcasts that do great recaps and provide thorough analysis…Cover1 being the best of them.

It all Right here, Dean’s  T camp reports,  various tweets from all known bills beat guys and gals, Cover 1, & locked on Bills, both do YouTube channels, covers pretty much everything you would need to know, 😁👍

Twitter X sounds like a porn site. I don’t get it.


Yea.. I very much appreciate what Elon has done with the platform, but he shoots from the hip with his ideas quite a bit. 
 

My guess is he wants X to become much more than what the Twitter brand was synonymous with, so this is him taking a short term hit to accomplish long term rebranding.

What has he done? It’s the same as it’s always been to me. Some small changes.

I still get all the info here.

 

But if you really need it, I think all these kids on here who use Twitter are getting the updated info faster 

 

Luckily I'm a non-participant in social media outside of this site. The information really isn't worth joining the cesspool that is Twitter/FB/tictac for. But it's nice that others wade through the garbage and are willing to share info here!

I think X forgot to throttle Tweetdeck, so still getting lots of tweets (Xs?) there.  But the real spot is here - why LOOK for tweets when someone will post the most relevant ones for ya?

 

Oh and Astro's reports, linked in its own thread...

Twitter works fine for me. Other than hating Musk, what issues are people running into with Twitter that have made it worse for obtaining Bills news?  Just curious since I never really used the platform other than following the links from the training camp report threads here.

I feel the same way, for the most part  Twitter is the proverbial race to the bottom / lowest common denominator cesspool.

I use Twitter.  One used to be able to not have an account and just view in a web browser, now it's broken if you don't have an account.

 

The best live updates of practice are Greg Tompsett (@GregTompsett) if he's there.  Cover1 is good.  Jon Scott (@JonScottTV).  Matt Bove (@Matt_Bove). 

 

Edit: add @AjayCybulski from Buffalo Rumblings.

 

Afterwards, AstroNotes are classic if he's there, they do a great job of giving one that 'flavor" of being there

Sal Capaccio https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/bills

Matt Parrino (nyup)

Joe Buscaglia (paywall, The Athletic) post camp reports pretty promptly

 

TBN seems to trend towards feature pieces rather than day-by-day updates, as far as I can tell - maybe I'm missing a reporter at TBN who does these.

 

It's important to note that the credentialed media evidently have restrictions about describing plays and so forth.

 

The uncredentialled attendees like Cover1, Astro, etc have the advantage that they didn't sign any restrictions so they say what they want.

Kinda broken it from my POV, but that's just me.  I don't think I'm their intended target market.

Where does this sense of urgency come from?

 

What if your information arrived 24 hours late?  What would be the problem with that?


You'd always be 24 hours behind, so for you, it would all be "new" information to digest anyway.
