I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it. The object of affection? Twitter.

Oh, stop groaning. It’s fantastic.

Naturally, I was thrilled when the media relations powers that be encouraged Gary Williams to join in on the latest in social networking.  And I have yet to be deterred by the curious abundance of exclamation points (“Great News! Greivis is coming back to school!”).

That’s why I’m pleased to roll out a new TerrapinTrail feature: Gary Williams TwitterWatch.

It remains to be seen if GWTW can become a sustainable, or worthwhile, endeavor. But let’s give it a shot.

Today, the head coach found and shared a particularly Gary quote:

Read a great quote this am. “Do things the right way, and sometimes the right way is the most painful way..BUT there is no shortcut.”

A quick Google search revealed no clues as to the origin of this message, but it coincides pretty nicely with the death of the Lance Stephenson saga. As we learned from last year’s “Gary can’t recruit” hullabaloo, the man will not stray from strong ethos for a quick fix.

So far Gary has used his twitter feed to boost fan moral, much the same way he uses on-court, postgame interviews at Comcast. Think: “We need you in the seats against Hampton!”

Can’t wait to see where this goes when we get closer to  the season.
