WHAT IS RACESHOUT?
RaceSHOUT is a
FREE microblogging website very similar to the massively popular Twitter.com.
Except that RaceSHOUT is dedicated to auto racing! Twitter.com is a great way to share news (even news about racing) but there is so much other stuff on Twitter (news about: dead celebrities, wars in foreign countries, Britney Spears rumors, not to mention the massive volume of meaningless information from the millions of "tweeters" out there just dying to tell you that they just "went to the bathroom".) therefore Twitter has become very difficult to find specific information or find folks that share our racing interest on Twitter. It's time for a site like Twitter but one that is focused on sharing racing news and information.
At RaceSHOUT... race drivers, race car owners, track owners, racing organizations and clubs, as well as racing fans can share quick, frequent shouts regarding auto racing.
Racers can keep their fans, family, and friends updated from wherever they are!
How do I shout?
Just type in what you are doing at the moment. And press 'Shout'.
