Gridiron Australia community size
I’m still working on completing my various social media totals. Today, I was poking around Twitter and I’m still surprised at the number of teams that don’t have a presence. One league I looked at was Gridiron Australia. It isn’t a major league but it involves an American sport and it peaked my curiosity. Unsurprisingly, the size of the community on social media sites is tiny.

No teams have an official Twitter presence. The extent to which a team is on Twitter involves a player being there and Tweeting about the team. The player is @fatloaf. He plays for the WA Raiders. There other largest place to find the league is on Yahoo!Groups, where there are two lists dedicated to the WA Raiders: waraiders and raidersd. Outside of these scattered networks, there are a few fans on bebo. It seems likely there are probably a few other fans dedicated to the league and these teams. If they are, they are probably on more Australian specific networks or communities dedicated to the sport.
