Most popular Australian (and New Zealand) sport related Twitter accounts (November 24)

Posted by Laura on Wednesday, 24 November, 2010

Yeah, it is that time again! I’ve added about 10 new accounts to this list. They were mostly journalists, people I saw referenced on my Twitter feeds or people that were mentioned in the comments of my previous post. There are a few that where the accounts to have been deleted or otherwise just did not get counted and those are just left off this list rather than be signified with a 0. This is an updated version of Most popular Australian athletes, clubs, leagues and sport organizations on Twitter (version 2), October 4 and October 11, November 11, November 16 and November 18. If I’m missing anyone or anything, let me know.

For probably 99% of these, I have a list of all the person’s followers. If you want to see that information, please let me know and I will be happy to send you the csv with that information.

More popular Australian (and Kiwi) sport related Facebook fanpages and groups (November 23)

Posted by Laura on Tuesday, 23 November, 2010

This post is an updated version of my November 21 post. It contains more groups and fan pages. It should be a bit more comprehensive. Worth noting: When some of these groups were last checked, there were several members. Some of the things not appearing have been deleted including anti-Monaghan groups and anti-Akermanis groups. Others need to be checked. We’re still working on improving the program that fetches this data. Also, unlike Twitter, I’m a little more keen to get unofficial groups/fan pages (and those are easier for fans to create). This can help give an idea as to how controversies in fandom play out over time.

More popular Australian (and Kiwi) sport related Facebook fanpages and groups

Posted by Laura on Sunday, 21 November, 2010

I’m hoping that I can finally begin to get an accurate idea as to the size of the Australian (and Kiwi) sport community on Facebook based on membership in groups and liking of fan pages. I can’t necessarily get good demographic data out of this because of how Facebook works. (Twitter is better in that regards.) Still, if news stories like Akermanis, Monaghan and the Storm break again, I should have total membership that is more recent. woot woot.

That said, the following is data that I’ve manually data mined so far today. Hopefully some people will find it useful in terms of conceptualizing the size of the Australian (and Kiwi) sport community on Facebook. Yeah, a lot of this is random.

Twitter follower information

Posted by Laura on Friday, 19 November, 2010

One of the things that I’m really interested in is the characteristics of Australian (and Kiwi to the extent that they intersect with Australia) sport fans. I spend a lot of time on Twitter because it is hard to get information off of other networks and those other networks tend to be fairly small. About a month ago, using my existing Australian sport Twitter list, I had a program go through and collect all the information it could about people who followed those accounts. One of the primary purposes was to bench mark this data and to be able to map where fans come from.

Doing this takes a while as my Twitter list is up to around 800 accounts. Twitter’s API allows for 150 calls an hour. (Then you have to wait before running it again.) I started it up last night and I’ve uploaded the accounts I had information for as of the time of writing this. This information can be found at Twitter Follower information (November 18).

This could be really useful for people who might want to compare statistics like average number of followers people have, (Can they read the message that athletes and sport organizations put out?) how often they update (Are they likely reading and might they ReTweet that content?) and where they are from.

Below is a partial list of accounts I have data for so far:

Most popular female Australian (and New Zealand) sport related Twitter accounts (November 18)

Posted by Laura on Thursday, 18 November, 2010

I wasn’t intending to run this again until tomorrow.  Things came up.  I’m going away for the weekend and I want to get everyone’s follower information to see if I can’t begin to map that again.  Also, it’s been a month since I last that information.  (It took about five days.  That was back when Shane Warne had only 198,000 followers.)  I like benchmarking that data to see if there are geographic shifts in where people follow are from.  (Has the location of where Team GWS followers come from?)  So yeah, I figured I would run the script this morning instead of a week from now.

I feel like there should be a bunch of new accounts on this list but in actuality, there are only two new accounts that have been added.  (That’s compared to general and male specific sports where I added close to two hundred.)   To give an idea as to potential momentum of who is gaining followers (and no, this isn’t really a competition but a point of interest), I’ve shown the growth since I ran this on November 16.

This is an updated version of from November 13 and November 16.

Most popular NRL related Twitter accounts (November 18)

Posted by Laura on Thursday, 18 November, 2010

I wasn’t intending to run this again until tomorrow.  Things came up.  I’m going away for the weekend and I want to get everyone’s follower information to see if I can’t begin to map that again.  Also, it’s been a month since I last that information.  (It took about five days.  That was back when Shane Warne had only 198,000 followers.)  I like benchmarking that data to see if there are geographic shifts in where people follow are from.  (How did the Monaghan story affect the Raiders fanbase?)  So yeah, I figured I would run the script this morning instead of a week from now.

This particular list only includes NRL related accounts. (And everyone on it appears on the list of most popular for all of Australia.)   I’m hoping all the labels are right.  If anything is incorrect, players switched team, I’m missing people… let me know and I’ll fix it.  And yeah, I’ve ranked this one so you can more easily see who is popular and who is not.  Finding Twitter lists related to the NRL has been rather hard so I’m less certain that this is complete than I am regarding the list for the AFL.

Most popular Australian (and New Zealand) sport related Twitter accounts (November 18)

Posted by Laura on Thursday, 18 November, 2010

I wasn’t intending to run this again until tomorrow.  Things came up.  I’m going away for the weekend and I want to get everyone’s follower information to see if I can’t begin to map that again.  Also, it’s been a month since I last that information.  (It took about five days.  That was back when Shane Warne had only 198,000 followers.)  I like benchmarking that data to see if there are geographic shifts in where people follow are from.  (Has the location of where Team GWS followers come from?)  So yeah, I figured I would run the script this morning instead of a week from now.

Since the last time I ran this, I added about 200 new accounts.  This includes a lot of NRL and AFL accounts.  I’m going to post four versions in four separate posts: The complete lists I have, top women, top NRL and top AFL.  I post these lists as new posts, rather than updating existing posts, so that people can keep track of what is happening historically.

Yeah, it is that time again! I’ve added about 50 new accounts to this list. The focus was on adding cricketers and female athletes. There are a few that where the accounts to have been deleted and those are just left off this list rather than be signified with a 0. This is an updated version of Most popular Australian athletes, clubs, leagues and sport organizations on Twitter (version 2), October 4 and October 11,   November 11, and November 16. If I’m missing anyone or anything, let me know.

Australian sport federations and social media policies

Posted by Laura on Thursday, 18 November, 2010

I’ve been participating in an e-mail conversation with two of my supervisors about the institutional roles related to social media policy in response to the story about country Victorian football players getting suspended as a result of things they said on Facebook.  Different groups have different policies.  Sometimes, what these policies are feel unclear and the media rarely quotes or mentions specific policy regarding how athletes are governed by their leagues and federations in terms of social media usage.  One of my points was that we should see if we couldn’t get our hands on some of these policies and see how they specifically address incidents like the ones referenced in that article.   There seem to be some problem areas where policies stand now.  If we could get our hands on existing policies, maybe we can use those policies as a starting point to offer some sort of training to sport organizations to help them better refine those policies.

The first problem of course is that we don’t exactly have copies of these policies.  To address this problem a bit, I called up a few organizations and asked them about their policies, etc.  This is a summary by organization regarding policies.  (And many thanks to the people who answered.  Calls out of the blue from Australian PhD students with American accents asking about institutional policies probably sounds a little bit questionable… but everyone I talked to was beyond nice.)  With my notes, please realize that the conversations I had probably lasted no more than five minutes.

  • Athletics Australia: No specific policy regarding social media.  They do it through media training.  Not restrictive in their policies.  They just ask them to be aware of what they are doing.
  • Badminton Australia: No policies.  Olympic policies they have to follow.  They have Facebook and not Twitter.  Will have an athlete who maintains Facebook and the website follow up for me with more information.
  • Australian Baseball Federation: No policies on social media usage.  Probably should. No day to day athletes so a bit less need for it at the moment. ABL teams are not focused on social media yet but separate entity so the federation is not involved in setting their policies.
  • Australian Baseball League: There is an intention to do create policy and create some sort of training for players.  The policy will cover things such as acceptable behavior on sites like Twitter and Facebook. These policies should not differ much from how players should talk to the media as both are open forums.  Player contracts have clauses regarding bringing the game into disrepute so if a player did something online that would be a problem, they could face consequences based on that clause.
  • Basketball Australia: There is no separate national team policy regarding social media usage.  There are advisory guidelines regarding behavior that were written based on the guidelines set by the Australian Olympic Committee.  Beyond these, all athletes are subject to a player agreement that includes a code of conduct.  The code of conduct includes topics such as endorsements, talking about your team mates, talking about referees and other competitors.  Athletes cannot say things that contradict the positions of the organization. For the most part, in terms of competitions, athletes are only really allowed to talk about their own experiences.  None of this explicitly covers the Internet but what they do online does apply.  (The level of policing of athlete activities online is low because they do not have the personnel to dedicate to that.)  The code of conduct means that if an athlete for Basketball Australia had said something like Stephanie Rice did, she would be subject to the code of conduct and consequences outlined there would apply.  Basketball Australia provides support for state organizations on this topic should they want it.  They do not force them to implement these policies as state organizations are independent entitites.
  • Diving Australia: Kids have been advised about social media. Can use social media but not during dives and the competitions.  (They will get back to me with more information.)
  • Bowls Australia Inc: There is an athlete agreement for public online and offline. Does mention online.  May see about getting me a copy of that athlete code of conduct.
  • Equestrian Australia: No specific social media policy regarding members.  Comprehensive codes of conduct so things like criticizing competitors and judging would be covered in both.  Same for sportsman like behavior.  Bad social media usage hasn’t been an issue.  You can’t use mobile phones during competitions.  (Athletes do use them to get in touch with people to help them change horses, move from place to place, get a hold of people.  That’s allow.)  Most of the time they just don’t have time.  Horse people are really on Facebook.    Some recent stuff has been appearing on Twitter.  They’ve started venturing onto YouTube and Twittering.  Athletes are doing that but not when they are competing.  Hamish and Dave.
  • Golf Australia: No formal policy.  Professional tours are developing policies.  Players can tweet during rounds.  Not really an issue that Golf Australia has had to face during their opens.  A female American player was listening to her iPod.  issue because of a courtesy to fellow players.  They thought it was an issue.  No formal policy.  When over seas, it is a less of an issue and they are allowed to do that as they control themselves.  (Americans appear to be more likely to tweet during rounds than other nationalities.)

It looks like most of the organizations I was able to get a hold of do not have formal policies.  (And I just wasn’t pressing to get copies of athlete codes of conduct.)  This is interesting but not unexpected.  Back to my e-mail chain, the question came up of why not?  I don’t know but I’d speculate that they do not have them for the following reasons:

  • Athletes in their federations are pretty well behaved and use social media in a non-offensive manner.  They have not drawn unwanted media attention or attention from sister federations in other countries.  Given that, they do not feel a pressing need to develop social media specific policies.
  • Athlete behavior is viewed as already being covered by codes of conduct.  You cannot criticize competitors and judges/umpires/referees.  It doesn’t need to be stated that if you cannot do that on the grounds or in the media that you shouldn’t do this online.
  • Federations do not see how drawing attention to and encouraging social media engagement by their athletes with the wider community would help them meet institutional objectives.  This could/is probably coupled with federations having contracts with some of their athletes regarding media appearances and they do not want to spend those appearances on social media.  They’d rather try to leverage athlete media commitments to help them get main stream media attention.

All of these reasons are perfectly valid to a degree.  If they aren’t going to create specific policies, it might be worth trying to do some training with athletes to make sure they understand that codes of conduct apply to social media engagement, and encourage athletes to engage if they have the time and inclination in order to encourage greater participation in the sport/get additional media attention.  Beyond that, it could help put their organization in a position where they can be proactive in case a social media related story involving their athletes.
