ROCK HILL, SC--Winthrop Athletics has joined the social network revolution as the Eagles now have an official presence on Facebook, Twitter, and You Tube.

 

All three sites are monitored by the athletics department personnel to ensure that the information is accurate. Fans who want to stay in the know about what’s going on with the Eagle sports teams, can simply go online or have content delivered to their cell phones, according to Everett Hutto, director of new media.

 

Facebook is the leading social network site for college students and young adults with over six million users. The Winthrop Athletics Fan Page will feature pictures, video, and general status updates each day about what is going on and what is upcoming. To become a fan of Winthrop Athletics, just simply log on to Facebook..

Twitter is the fastest growing social network site that allows fans to follow the Eagles at www.twitter.com/wueagles . The Twitter page receives direct updates from both Facebook and You Tube, enabling fans the ability to receive information about Winthrop Athletics the minute it happens.

You Tube, the site that has changed the way people surf the internet, is Winthrop’s official athletics channel that features game highlights, coaches and player interviews, and more on the same day it happens. Fans who missed it live, can see it on You Tube by visiting  www.youtube.com/user/winthropathletics .

The official athletic website www.winthropeagles.com will continue to be the first source for all information about the Winthrop Eagles. However, social networking allows Winthrop Athletics to be followed by a greater audience than just students, alumni, and fans who are already familiar with the program.
