NBA Best Practices: Chicago Bulls Give Us a Twitter Roster

Is it possible to transform a list of who to follow on Twitter into something more? Something more personal. I hadn't come across anything that really accomplished this. But then I hit the Chicago Bulls presence.
Let's go.

Hit the Bulls home page and click on the Twitter icon in the upper right-hand corner.




This takes you here, to what I'd call the Roster of the Chicago Bulls on Twitter. As you can see in this image, it feels much more personal due to the arrangement. It's a roster, but it's also a list.

You'll also note that the Media is presented in the same fashion, offering you easy access to the official ways of connecting around the squad in Twitter.
Finally, there's life -- the latest Bulls Tweet is pulled in at the top. And it's super easy to share this page via Twitter or Facebook via the share buttons in the upper right-hand corner of the page.




How could this be better? The roster layout is fantastic. But what if we finished the job. Put their number and their position into this layout. Then let us see the latest tweet from each player pop into the top frame, where we have the Bulls Tweet -- giving us a dynamic page that feels personal and authentic.

Come back tomorrow for our final round of best practices from the NBA. And as always, you can follow me on Twitter (I'm @pawlow34) or on Facebook (Digital Hoops Blast).

Thanks!

Andy
