Ozzie Sport » Perth Wildcats http://ozziesport.com Looking at sport in Oz from a social media and web perspective Tue, 07 Sep 2010 08:07:16 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Perth sport fandom size http://ozziesport.com/2010/08/perth-sport-fandom-size/ http://ozziesport.com/2010/08/perth-sport-fandom-size/#comments Mon, 16 Aug 2010 02:19:29 +0000 Laura http://ozziesport.com/?p=706 I feel guilty as I’m kind of posting as I do with out any particular pattern. Anyway, I looked at Google.com.au and friendster (both of which have a load of garbage unrelated results) and recorded the totals for number of results for each team. I also did that bebo, care2 and blogger. (I also did ecademy and blackplanet but results were 0 the whole way through.) I’ll see if I feel like exploring and recording the size of the Perth sport fandom some more. The following table includes the results so far. If you have methodology questions, let me know.

There are two groups on Yahoo dedicated to the Perth Wildcats: thewildcatsden and  perthwildcatssupportersclub.  Both were created in late 2000.  The first has 56 but has had exclusively spam content since late April 2001.  The second has three members, no real spam content and has had no new posts since April 10, 2001.  Between the two, there were 26 legitimate total posts.  I’m not graphing it because there really isn’t much variation and anything to suggest that for this small community ever really had a presence on the service; a one year pattern is unlikely to correlate with team performance.
