BuzzerBeater Forums

So I was scrolling through twitter today, and draft street came up "promoted". I thought of draft street and then searched up Buzzerbeater because of the supporter promotion. No results came up for Buzzerbeater.

I know promoting a company on twitter is expensive, but I really think Buzzerbeater should have a twitter. They could put lots of things on the twitter.

Thoughts?

why not make a new one?

Just my 2c. I went and checked out the previous twitter feed a couple of times, and I always got the feeling of "what is there really to tweet about for BB"? But then again, I don't really use twitter much as it is, and I'm certainly not a viral marketing guru. So I guess I don't really see how effective/useful it could be, but I might be missing something. And I guess it certainly can't hurt, right?

There is also the fact Twitter is not that much used as people think. (...) if I look at the french community for example, I know that very few people are using Twitter. Such Twitter account would be in english, limiting its own targeted population.

It depends on who you're looking at. Being a journalist, I know a lot of people who use it daily. And they don't do it to know what was Justin's last meal!

It shouldn't be too hard to find someone to run it, should it? Honestly I'd do it if I didn't have school taking up the majority of my time.

A BB Twitter could do much more than promotional PR as well. If you look at official twitters for NBA, NFL, and MLB (I can't really speak for European sports), they tweet power rankings, scores, and news updates about the leagues. An expanded version of this could be done for BB, though it would take a large time investment.

For example, each tweet could be structured like this:

USA- NBBA: Updated power rankings for the week of 3/10/14:
1. Arizona Desert Storm
2. Bullish Mentality
3. Technical Fouls
4. 10inch Vertical
5. Beware of Dogs
*link to NBBA home page*

This could be done for a variety of nations. The twitter could also track U21/NT results and B3, and at the start of each season could do rundowns of "Who to Watch in Season 27" for each top league, and could cover "Rising Stars" around the time of the ASG, discussing teams in II, III, and IV who are showing excellent promise. If someone (or a couple of people?) was/were dedicated to it, a BB Twitter account could be really, really, cool.

EDIT: This idea actually has me super excited. I also had the idea that a thread could be created in BB Global to act as a sort of BB Blog, with brief blurbs on Twitter linking to full articles on-site. Forget about school, I'd really like to do this, but I probably would need someone else to co-admin it.
