Twitter fun with Shaq

Twitter is not just a useful networking and business tool, and I experienced the proof of that today.

Last night I saw a spot on ESPN Sportcenter about the battle of the intro’s [the entrances to NBA games] between Lebron James and Shaq.

This morning I saw Shaq was active on Twitter so I threw this out there:

A little while later, I saw this reply:

Thanks to Twitter, I can say that I spoke to Shaq [Shaquille O'Neal] today! I know the chances of that happening without Twitter are close to none, so as far as I’m concerned, it’s awesome [You can find Shaq here: @THE_REAL_SHAQ]

Oh, and props to Shaq for actually interacting via the medium rather than just using it for information dissemination. V cool.
