The Poker 2.0 Blog covers the latest news and trends in the social media scene as they pertain to the game of poker. Social networks have been around for a few years now but never in such niche communities as poker. Spotting a diamond in the rough, Marius of Poker 2.0 hooked up with Geoff Manning of the Twitter Poker Tour for an interview.

Here is an excerpt:

Twitter is very important for our community because it provides a communications channel for all of us to get to know each other away from the poker rooms. Personally, I love Twitter. I feel that some of the other social media outlets take too much time to manage. Updating profiles, pictures, etc can become a laborious task for some. The simplicity of Twitter is what makes it stand out.
