The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 skipper claims that the social networking website is a great way to communicate with fans but reiterated that one has to monitor what eventually goes into the comments.
As the world grows smaller, thanks to ingenious inventions such as Twitter and Facebook, footballers have had their private life invaded on many occasions and the end result has been far from pleasing.
In recent months, players such as Joey Barton, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 have found themselves in hot water after making indecent comments about the Football Association and their respective cases on racism.
Cole become the latest victim and was slapped with a fine, although he managed to retain his place in the England squad and eventually settled back into the side.
Twitter in particular has come under intense scrutiny from various quarters and many claim that footballers should be banned from the website as to further avoid any unsavoury incidents.
Now http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 has chosen to defend his profile on the site and claims that although the benefits of using such a medium are high, one must always regulate the content that eventually comes out.
Speaking to reporters, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 man said that he enjoyed getting so many followers on the site, but it also meant that the conscientiousness on his shoulders was much higher and thus he had to be careful about what he promoted and said.
"It brings a sense of responsibility. It is not something I went on to see how many followers I could get but it is incredible. There are people on there who don't like you and follow you but the amount of support you get is fantastic.”
"Twitter is a good way for the fans to see a different side of you and away from football. I don't try and get involved, you do get a bit of stick on it but I try and leave it and not get involved. You obviously know everything you put on there is seen by
everyone who follows you and it will be in the newspapers the next day so you have to be careful,” he added.
