A look at the “Super Bowl effect”

An interesting post from Twitter blogs about the effect showing the effect the Super Bowl had on Twitter traffic.  Twitter is a great outlet for sports fans to share their own special comments.  A great job by NFL in their “Tag it #sb44″ promoting a specific hashtag for all social media platforms.  They got a great response from NFL fans, look at the results from fans at the Tag the Super Bowl site.

I guess my question was answered?

@seancallanan: Can sports pick hashtags? Won’t #superbowl get a good run? RT @NFLprguy: We will be using #sb44 for all things Super Bowl-related. #sb44 4:57 PM Feb 1st from TweetDeck

Formspring…. fan press conference?

Now I am collating my thoughts from the #sportsgeektrip, if you have a question please hit me up via Formspring.

Formspring allows anonymous questions to be asked and answered via a simple web form.

Could Formspring be a good way of getting fans to ask questions and connect with your sport?

How could you use formspring in sports?

  • Take questions from fans for coaches, perhaps a formspring press conference?
  • Setup a season ticket sales account to answer queries & encourage sales
  • Setup an account specific to an event or promotion to handle questions
  • Manage queries from fans surrounding a big news event e.g. New signing or trade

If you have any questions for me about formspring or #sportsgeektrip or anything at all, please ask away…
