Canucks GM Mike Gillis on Twitter

Taking this course got me back to twitter once agin.  The reason why I was not a regular twitter’er is that my company’s corporate network is completely blocking any sort of social media sites (how ironic!).  My company cellphone also don’t allow me to install any apps so I can’t really take advantage of the concept of “twit as I go”…

But I got back on it as much as I could, and started following a bunch of intersting people.  Since I am a hockey fan (particularly with my home team – Vancouver Canucks), I started to look for Canucks/hockey related people to follow.  I am very suprised to find out that Canucks GM Mike Gillis just recently got on twitter! 

To me, the impression of NHL GMs is that they are very old school.  And they seldemly have any direct communication with the fans (through newspaper, webiste…yes…but I am talking about at a personal level like twitter).  So I am very glad that Mike Gillis is taking a giant step in reach out to the fans.  He is personally answering fans’ questions and expressing his opinion about his team.  It’s great!

Let’s hope he doesn’t accidentally leak any trade secrets on twitter…
