Rooster twitters

[Guest]

The good thing about the Roosters using twitter is that they are engaging with the wider public and certainly giving insight into the 'man behind the player' so to speak. I've noticed that the Roosters FB page is also a whole lot more active over the last few month in giving away the day to day happenings at the club which is great for fans.

I've seen he same thing happen with the Swans who in the last few years have changed their whole online marketing approach. The club used to give away nothing, but now the boys always do videos or write blog entries on the website, a few are on twitter and the Swans FB page is so good at passing along up-to-date information, putting up pictures and really engaging with fans. They have more than 70 000 people who have 'like'd their page and that's pretty impressive I think.

This approach can be really good for the Roosters in expanding its fan base and increasing membership numbers. I hope they persist with it.

The number of each respective club's fb page likes as @ 12 November 2011, and as compiled by me due to pure boredom and botheredness.

broncos - 219,259
storm - 114,597
titans - 83,950
eels - 71,068
bulldogs - 69,592
tigers - 64,355
rabbitohs -62,732
dragons- 60,291
eagles - 53,387
knights - 43,856
roosters - 43,271
warriors - 40,585
cowboys - 31,644
sharks - 31,089
panthers - 28,633
raiders - 11,721


I still remember when the broncos were at 50k and we were at 18k, and that was not too long ago. So definitely do not underestimate the value of social media in connecting with fans

I class facebook and it's pages far down the scale of communal activities, right next to Glory holes and political parties.

Sadly, you are correct John.
Just a waste of interweb space.

if you have no friends and/or are over 50 maybe

fact is social networking has allowed people to connect in ways that were not possible before

obviously you have teens and people who abuse it and like to document every time they chuck a shit, but how else can you share/view photos and updates with overseas relatives with ease and frequency

twitter is another that allows celebs and sportspeople to connect with their fans. in every good there is also bad, so theres no point complaining

Yep & yep.
I have very few friends, but the ones that I now have I consider precious. The ones that I thought were my friends turned out to be not so friendly in the end.
Sadly I see people end up in shite fights, or mouth off while drunk/drug induced/angry etc & destroy relationships/careers etc while using Twitter/Facebook.

With maturity comes restraint, and the ability to step back & assess before response.
I see people trying to gather as many friends online as possible. They view this as being popular & important.
I use it to stay in contact with a few people (my kids included), but really find it time consuming & annoying most of the time.

@deanv2409 Hey mate, I've had 6 light runs so far - it seems to be responding well. Not out of the woods yet though.

Fantastic to see them using twitter responsibly (so far) and one would guess that they have had that drilled into them this year but it is a great way for the average punter to get a bit closer to the action. So to speak.

From SKD a few hours ago.

3 day camp almost over heaps of fun with the boys all the boys sooo excited for the coming season...
