Good beat writers for the Grizzlies? 

Post#1 » by NBAtweeter » Wed May 9, 2012 5:16 pm

Hey guys, I've been working on a site that displays Grizzlie related tweets and organizes them based on type (i.e. players, writers, bloggers). I have plenty of players and and an okay amount of bloggers, but I'm struggling with finding enough good quality writers.

Do you guys happen to know any good writers I should add? I'm looking for guys that are good at breaking news or getting creditable rumors out. Not looking so much for the guys who like to talk about non-basketball or their personal life.

The only good writers I've found so far are:

@flyergrizblog
@kelleysthrngrl

These are the only two beat writers I could find for the Grizzlies. I've found plenty a couple other "writers" but typically they are just writing in their blogs, those are in the blog section. I'm really looking for more of the official writers that are paid by newspaper or news agencies.

The site can be found here if you want to check it out or see how the writers I have work currently: http://www.nbatweeter.com/grizzlies I'd appreciate any feedback on the site as well.

Any other writers besides the ones I'm using that you guys feels are worth adding?

Thanks again!

Hey thanks for the response. There are a few you've mentioned I think are worth adding. Any thoughts from other members on PeterPranica and Peteredmiston?

I'll make the changes over night tonight. When you chance the feeds, they go out of whack for a few hours.

Thanks again for sharing.

Durr me - I just saw VanJ's response and didn't see the two in your initial post. My bad :)
