Look, you guys. I don’t want to brag or anything, but I’m currently in first place for the NCAA Tournament Tweetup.
Okay, that was a pretty blatant lie. I totally want to brag. Here is a visual aid:
For the first time I can remember, I’m not in a situation to join a pool for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. I filled out brackets in high school with friends, in college with people on my floor, and every year in every job I’ve worked since college.
This March, I find myself seeking reemployment. Bright side: I’ll be able to watch every single opening game of the tournament. Dark side: I have no office mates with whom to compete and trash talk. Another dark side: no spare cash with which to enter a pool.
So then I got to thinking. A good portion of my friends are on Twitter, Yahoo! provides free brackets, so why not set it up and invite all my Twitter friends? March Madness is only truly mad when you’ve got something riding on it. In this case, that would just be bragging rights, but still. (Remember the part about being poor.)
I present the NCAA March Madness Tweetup! (Not in any way affiliated with Twitter, the NCAA, CBS Sports, or Yahoo!) To join and fill out your brackets, just go here:

Once you sign up, be sure to use your Twitter name as your bracket name so we can find each other. Even if you’re not on Twitter, you’re more than welcome to join us in the fun, but you’d be missing out on all the conversation.
Be sure to sign up and fill out your brackets now. The games start tomorrow. And feel free to pass the link around!
