Many people speculated whether or not James would announce his decision via Twitter. However, because of the massive interest in James’ decision, he opted to make his announcement live on ESPN at 9 p.m. tonight. The chatter on the web and news network is that James may join Wade and Bosch in Miami.
James has been using Twitter to drive traffic to lebronjames.com where users can “Share” the site with their Facebook friends or conduct an Internet search using Bing, which is an obvious, but smart, gimmick to encourage fan’s to make the site their homepage.
