Want to know where Lebron (or at least the person tweeting for him) is?
Take the Location details from his Twitter account and put the numbers into Google Maps.
Hint: Turn off Location update when tweeting from UberTwitter.
Perhaps LeBron needs some training from Sports Geek?
Why not launch a personal site & take control of your Facebook Fan page while you have the world’s attention?
What is it doing? Collecting email addresses, smart strategy why not hit up the sports world email boxes with new offers from King James?
Check http://bit.ly/apxlxx (lebronjames.com) for updated info on my decision.

But the most staggering is the traffic hitting up his new website from that one tweet via Bit.ly.
Still not convinced about social media being an effective platform for sports & athletes? Why not?
Happy to have LeBron as a Sports Geek ambassador

Best of Digital Sports World #10This coming week may be the biggest in NBA history as the free agent class of LeBron, Wade & Bosh among others decide where they will continue to ply their trade. Teams & fans are in a frenzy at the possibility of landing one, two are perhaps all three. Chicago Bulls sold 1500 season tickets in 48 hours just on speculation alone.
Darren Rovell does are great job breaking down what LeBron’s worth maybe to each potential destination.

Will LeBron stay in Cleveland? This will be the biggest story in the NBA this off-season. Perhaps this jersey will fit?
Check out the latest post from the NBA Facebook Fan page (1.6M fans and counting), they are now offering Virtual NBA Jerseys as Facebook Gifts!
Awesome idea from the NBA as it allows Facebook users to send a digital NBA Jersey to a friend using Facebook credits. To purchase simply go to the Facebook gift shop and search for NBA, there is a selection of team and player jerseys available.
We’d like to see the NBA release sales results on digital jerseys like they do for actual jerseys. Could Facebook stars like Shaq, Bosh & Nash outshine big names like Kobe & LeBron who have shied away from the social media spotlight?
