I know some of you guys like to follow him on Twitter for his insight and news ... now he wants to bring you more. Why am I thinking he will make more money when he retires from the league than he makes playing in the league ... this is one smart and industrious man.
The Bengals receiver is planning to form his own social news network on Twitter, using his player contacts around the league to develop news about other teams. The idea grew out of his partnership with Motorola, which will provide the technology.
He's dubbed the venture OCNN, for the Ochocinco News Network. He will try to compete with mainstream media to tell fans what's going on with NFL teams.

"If I break it, you might as well believe it," Ochocinco told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
Ochocinco already spends a lot of time on social networking -- he has nearly 300,000 followers on Twitter and does frequent Ustream episodes. This latest venture will be intriguing, given the way NFL coaches try to prevent news from leaking out.
The Associated Press: Bengals WR Ochocinco trying to break newsMotorola is using the venture to promote its MOTOBLUR technology. Ochocinco will use one of the company's Cliq mobile devices for his new social network. Motorola marketing officer Bill Ogle said Ochocinco "brings order and clarity to a multifaceted lifestyle as a professional athlete, entertainer and devoted social networker."
It's been a busy week for Ochocinco's social networking ventures. A week ago, his new iPhone app was introduced. The app was developed by a company that includes Bengals quarterback Jordan Palmer and features various ways to get news on the receiver.
Between football and networking, the receiver doesn't have much extra time. "This is how I stay out of trouble," he said. "I don't go to clubs, I don't drink, I don't party."
"I don't go to clubs, I don't drink, I don't party" ... sounds like a decent sports role model to me.
