Plenty of mainstream media outlets hinge their articles on stuff that's happening on Twitter these days, so I figured, why not me too? I'm not sure of the precise genesis of the contest -- I'm guessing our pal Ingrid has something to do with it -- but the concept is pretty simple: It's a race between the members of the Canadian women's national team to see who can add 200 new followers first.
The race started about an hour ago. If you're on the ol' Twitter, follow the hashtag #CanWNT for all the "rules" and the latest updates. I won't lie, I've got my favourites when it comes to entertainment value, but so as to not unduly influence the results, I will simply list the participants in alphabetical order. You can decide who you want to support:
