Tim Tebow joins the Twitterverse

Tim Tebow's first Tweet.
For any Gator fans who miss former standout Tim Tebow, now a backup with the Denver Broncos, you can follow his every thought. Or, at least, you can follow him on Twitter. The QB joined as part of a marketing strategy developed by XV Enterprises, a company Tebow’s brother, Robby, and longtime friend Angel Gonzalez created.
From Darren Rovell’s CNBC story:
“We interviewed the top 15 marketing agencies in the world and went through their dog and pony show,” said Robby, Tebow’s older brother. “They were big and smooth and wore three-piece suits and some of them are very good at what they do. But one thing we realized is that they were talking about the things for Timmy that we were already thinking about. And when it came to negotiating we could do the job as good as they could and we weren’t necessarily worrying about that 20 percent cut.”
You can check out Tebow’s website, where there is a short video documentary on the QB. You can follow Tebow on Twitter at @timtebow. He’s got more than 10,000, as of 4:16 p.m. Over-under on him topping 100K today?
