Twitter, the micro-blogging service, recently release a new feature that allows users to create lists to categorize and group the people they follow. One of the really helpful features of the new twitter lists functionality is that you can set the lists to be public or private.

Public lists can be shared with other twitter users and the NHL has taken this functionality and created a very targeted business use for hockey fans. The NHL (@NHL on twitter) has created lists for each of the active NHL teams, as well as some older teams that no longer exist.

Alexander Ovechkin is Russian. Sidney Crosby is Canadian. What do they have in common? Hockey and NHL for starters.

As I sit here in the airport, I can’t help but remember with fondness completely spanking the American team 4 years ago in hockey. I’ll be the first to admit the the Americans played well, for Americans. In fact, it was the best hockey game I’d ever seen (before or since).
However, the truth is that hockey simply isn’t an American sport. Never will be. The best they can do is import players from other countries (hello expanded green card program). Y’know I love you guys, and I’m sincerely hoping you make it to the gold medal round again, but no …read more
