Twitter My College Sports Update....... #Marketing

Twitter is a website, owned and operated by Twitter Inc., which offers a social networking and micro blogging service, enabling its users to send and read messages called tweets. Tweets are publicly visible by default.  Users may subscribe to other users' tweets – this is known as following and subscribers are known as followers or tweeps (Twitter + peeps).
All users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, compatible external applications (such as for smart phones), or by Short Message Service (SMS) available in certain countries.

Big Ten Nation is home to 12 colleges in the U.S. The Conference uses Twitter and other social networks, not only to market but to also update, inform and advertise what’s going on in there sports world. From games, to tailgates, awards, and new recruits, The Conference is known for twitting on a daily with everything that is going on in the conference, the most recent tweets have been about the NCAA Final Four. The tweets have kept follower's up-to-date on the when, where, and how or the tournaments. Most of the tweets hold links that lead you to other B.T.N pages. Big Ten has put all social networks to good use, far as getting the attention of fans, and sports watchers alike.


 Facebook is also a social network the Big Ten uses. The Big Ten Conference Facebook page is full of picture, coupons, and advertisment for up coming games and events. What I have learned to love about all of the different social networks is that in some shape form or fashion they all lead to each other. As well as the app's that offered for phones, Ipod's, Ipad's and much more. Things like this allow people to have 24/7 access to the networks as well as keeps the information in motion.
