World Cup Mania: The Twitter Revolution

Think back to the times before the modern era and the Internet craze. When banter between sports fans was limited to a small geographic region, updates from games around the country, or even the world, were delivered through the television or radio. Now, during the exciting time of the 2010 World Cup, people around the world show their support of their countries and favorite players online through the means of social media outlets, especially Twitter.
