In stride with the recent decision to replace the “Become a Fan” button with “Like”, this appears to be an attempt by Facebook to encourage new users to express their interests and become active. The phrase, “Connect with your favorite celebrities, businesses and brands to hear the latest news from them”, is displayed above the list. ]]> http://activ8social.com/2010/04/27/facebook-introduces-suggested-pages-list/feed/ 3 http://activ8social.com/2010/03/31/jimmy-rollins-looks-to-crank-out-record-breaking-home-run-2/ http://activ8social.com/2010/03/31/jimmy-rollins-looks-to-crank-out-record-breaking-home-run-2/#comments Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:55:06 +0000 Activ8Social http://activ8social.com/?p=1348 Jimmy "J-Roll" Rollins has always been known for his blazing speed and affinity for two-baggers.  On Tuesday, April 13th, Rollins will look to add homerun king to an already impressive baseball resume. While his Philadelphia Phillies teammates are resting after their Citizens Bank Park home opener against the Washington Nationals, Rollins will spend his afternoon launching baseballs in excess of 550 feet over a closed-down Philadelphia highway in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record.]]> http://activ8social.com/2010/03/31/jimmy-rollins-looks-to-crank-out-record-breaking-home-run-2/feed/ 0 http://activ8social.com/2010/01/20/dc-sports-professionals-networking-event/ http://activ8social.com/2010/01/20/dc-sports-professionals-networking-event/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 17:29:52 +0000 Steve Cobb http://activ8social.com/?p=1066 Activ8Social invites you to network with sports professionals in the Washington, DC area at our first event of the year.

The focus of my post was industry predictions for 2010 and given the nature of our work at Activ8Social, I decide to focus on individual athletes. I came up with three primary growth areas to keep an eye on: Promotions, Live Video, and Mobile. Over the past few weeks, I've noticed a few examples and decided to point them out to better demonstrate my predictions. Here's my original post, coupled with a recent example of each primary growth area. Drop me a line and let me know how you see sports and social media growing in 2010 (hopefully by leaps and bounds).]]> http://activ8social.com/2010/01/09/2010-sports-and-social-media-predictions-revisited-with-examples/feed/ 3
