A Twitter App Just for the World Series of Poker

The World Series of Poker is now underway, and Twitter is pointing out a Twitter app called PokerRoad Nation, which aggregates tweets from professional players.

With PokerRoad Nation, users can filter the tweets to see updates from specific WSOP players or from specific events. There are over 50 events, and thousands of players (pros and amateurs).

"When you're trying to follow an event like a poker tournament where thousands of people might be playing at hundreds of tables, a tool like this let's you see what's going on through the players' eyes," says Jason Goldman on the Twitter Blog. "It's a whole new way of seeing the game."

PokerRoad Nation was created by poker professional Joe Sebok, who is also an avid Twitter user. Along with poker pro Barry Greenstein, Sebok also runs PokerRoad.com, which features a blog, audio, and video content.

Looking at PokerRoad Nation, I can't help but be reminded of when poker superstar Phil (Poker Brat) Hellmuth was drunk tweeting a while back. I wonder how much drunken tweeting we'll see throughout this WSOP.
