Townsville Fire on YouTube
The Townsville Fire are a WNBL team. Like the Bendigo Spirit, there is a small community of people who have uploaded videos featuring the team on YouTube. Both have three people who have uploaded a total of four videos. There is one person in common between the two groups: bbax222. The other two people are timtufuga and Ambalina1989. timtufuga has uploaded a number of videos featuring WNBL teams. Ambalina1989 has not. Three of these videos were posted during 2009/2010 season: 1 in October, 1 in November and 1 in December. The last video was uploaded in March 2008 and features the team’s dance squad. The four videos that were uploaded have had very few views. The most watched video is TOWNSVILLE McCAFE FIRE: Rachael Flanagan (interviewed by Jes ) and it has 60 less views than the most popular Bendigo Bombers video. So far, people just don’t seem to be keen on watching or uploading WNBL videos to YouTube.
The YouTube community again appears to be one of the biggest outside of Facebook. (Bebo has two people who list them as an interest.) The Facebook community size is again not based on people listing the team as an interest (important if you are a team and wanting to direct advertising at them) and is instead based on group and fanpage size.
