How do we bridge the gap between social networks?

Much of my time at the Colts is spent doing research on what other companies or organizations are doing to engage customers and fans using social networking. Facebook, with 36 million unique U.S. visitors and 115 world unique visitors, is a giant in the world of social networking. Our challenge is to figure out how drive traffic from Facebook to our… Continue

Chris...You are right...the track is refridgerated, but it is way to expensive when the weather is around 90 degrees everyday to keep the ice on there. So that is why in the photo you see the rails under the sled on our start practice area. Let me know you have any other questions!

Working with the senators has been a real learning experience. The long hours and work load of minor league baseball has taken its toll on my college minded body schedule. But I still find time to visit friends and just relax. All in all its GREAT.

Hello Chris,
Sorry for the late reply, just got back from the coast with the family.
I hope you have an email address on your website because I will give you some more info on my latest project. It is based on a small Portuguese club, which I believe has potential to grow as a club and with the correct system in place it will be able to grow young talent.

Best regards,

Gary

Finally, two sports teams that get it!

Email Power Rankings for MLB teams

How did E mail become the “other” white meat? While everyone is going crazy over social media, I suspect Email is getting overlooked and underutilized by many professional sports teams. With this suspicion on my brain I set out recently to do a little research using baseball teams as my subjects. The results of my [...]

College fans like Twitter more than Facebook for sports

If America’s major universities want to engage avid sports fans during live events, they should pay more attention to Twitter than Facebook, and they should forget about Foursquare altogether; At least what our data seem to be saying.
