As the world becomes more connected via Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking platforms, the biggest names, teams, and events in sports become increasingly accessible. Soccer (or football as it is known to the rest of the world) is slowly rising up out of the ashes of insignificance into the American spotlight.
The Monday #SoMash is here with the following social media stories from last week, including Google’s March Madness initiatives, an app to find like-minded sports fans, the apps coming out of SXSW, Pinterest’s new profiles, and Gap’s social media policy.
The most clicked stories from this week’s #Sports e-newsletter include: how social TV helped save a FOX Sports marketing campaign, HootSuite and the Los Angeles Kings, Twitter working with London Olympics to thwart ambush marketing, apps to follow March Madness online, and March Madness intensifies with social media.
