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

Posted by Laura on Wednesday, 24 November, 2010

This is an updated version of from November 13 , November 16 and November 18.

If there is anyone missing, please let me know. I’m always happy to improve this list. I feel like there are probably more roller derby accounts out there that I’m missing. I also feel like there should be more Kiwi women on the list that I’m just not seeing. If anyone knows a good place to begin to find either group, please comment. :)

If anyone wants the list of followers for these accounts and all the public information that you basically see in the list below, please let me know and I will be happy to send you a csv file containing that information. I’m just hesitant to upload it as I only have so much bandwidth and I have about 805 files with follower information.

The biggest movers on this list appear to be ItsStephRice, RochelleGilmore, Sally_Fitz, gypsy_gilmore, libby_trickett who have all gained 50+ followers. This contrasts with kristy_giteau, MelissaBreen_, muirsop, TheFlyingBats, saltydolls, samikennedy, SportingSheilas, watsonjessica who all lost between 1 and 3 followers, which if you think about it isn’t that many followers.

Most popular female Australian (and New Zealand) sport related Twitter accounts (November 16)

Posted by Laura on Tuesday, 16 November, 2010

Yeah, it is that time again! The top ten of this list differ a lot from the last version as wow, Australian (and Kiwi) surfers are very popular.

I’ve added about 50 new accounts to this list. The focus was on adding cricketers and surfers. 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 from November 13. If I’m missing anyone or anything, let me know. This work is a constant work in progress, with the results changing every time it updates.  Every iteration should be an improvement.  (For example, the next run has one spelling variation for the national netball and fixed the typo for Bendigo.)  A new version of this list should be available on  Friday, November 19 or on Monday, November 22.     Please let me know if any athlete, team, league, organization or fansite is missing.  If you have better descriptions for accounts listed, let me know. I will try to get it included in the next update.

I love women’s sport.  Australian women are just fantastic, both as professionals in professional leagues and in team and individual competitions on an international level.  This list is a celebration of that. I list the most popular women’s sport separately in order to draw attention to it.  The Matildas have great potential for the 2011 world cup, perhaps more than the Socceroos. Yet if you look at Facebook, the men have 141,880 fans, while the women only have 2,847.   I’d love to see this gap decrease and I’d love to see more research done on women’s sport fandom.  By providing these benchmarks, maybe I’ll encourage one of my readers to take up that mantle.

I’ve been debating putting this information on a static page and updating that regularly in contrast to creating new posts every time I update the totals.  I haven’t found a compromise that makes me happy yet as I really like the historical data that becomes available by creating new posts.  As readers, you’re allowed to go back through posts and try to track the growth of some athletes and leagues.  That could have potential value depending on the narrative you create surrounding the data.  If people would prefer a static list, rather than new posts, please let me know and I will make the change in the future.

Most popular Australian (and New Zealand) sport related Twitter accounts (November 16)

Posted by Laura on Tuesday, 16 November, 2010

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,  and November 11. If I’m missing anyone or anything, let me know. This work is a constant work in progress, with the results changing every time it updates.  Every iteration should be an improvement.  (For example, the next run has one spelling variation for the national netball and fixed the typo for Bendigo.)  There should be around 40 new accounts in the version run either Friday, November 19 or on Monday, November 22.  I’ve tried to add more rugby players and fansites. (And @Essendon_FC .  Doh! I don’t know how I missed them. :( )I’ve also tried to add more baseball players and leagues.   Please let me know if any athlete, team, league, organization or fansite is missing.  If you have better descriptions for accounts listed, let me know. I will try to get it included in the next update.

This list contains non-Australian and non-Kiwi teams when the leagues play in other places.  As the Rugby World Cup is also coming up and it is being hosted in New Zealand (and I’m thinking of writing a paper about that), I’ve also included Rugby Unions from competing countries on the list.  Some international organizations have also been included.

I’ve been debating putting this information on a static page and updating that regularly in contrast to creating new posts every time I update the totals.  I haven’t found a compromise that makes me happy yet as I really like the historical data that becomes available by creating new posts.  As readers, you’re allowed to go back through posts and try to track the growth of some athletes and leagues.  That could have potential value depending on the narrative you create surrounding the data.  If people would prefer a static list, rather than new posts, please let me know and I will make the change in the future.

Australian netball on Facebook and Twitter

Posted by Laura on Tuesday, 12 January, 2010

When I was compiling the list of Twitter accounts for the ANZ Championship, I found several Australian netball team Twitter related accounts, including ones for Australian Diamonds, Petersham RUFC Netball Club, ACE Netball Club, Orcas Netball.  I got details regarding the total number of followers, checked totals on Facebook and compared these to the ANZ teams.  The following table was generated:

Australian Netball on Facebook and Twitter

New Zealand ANZ Championship Central Pulse 0 0 0
New Zealand ANZ Championship Northern Mystics 0 0 0
New Zealand ANZ Championship Southern Steel 0 0 0
New Zealand ANZ Championship Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic 0 0 0

For the smaller club teams that are more about participation, there just is not a Facebook interest in them.  This is not surprising as listing a team you participate in recreationally might seem odd; you’re not a fan but a player and the team isn’t professional or top level so it is unlikely others will want to find you as a result of your participation.  At least two of those teams have a Facebook presence to share news but this is not enough to get people to list these teams as an interest.

Beyond the clubs listed, there are some regional accounts for those interested in Australian netball.  They include @NetballAust – Netball Australia (72 followers), @Sydney_Netball – Sydney and New South Wales netball news from a newspaper (31 followers), and @netballvic – Netball Victoria (20 followers).

Commonwealth Bank Trophy teams on Facebook

Posted by Laura on Sunday, 10 January, 2010

The Commonwealth Bank Trophy is the premiere competition in Australia for women’s netball.  The competition has ten teams.  They are:

  • Adelaide Thunderbirds
  • AIS Canberra Darters
  • Hunter Jaegers
  • Melbourne Kestrels
  • Melbourne Phoenix
  • Perth Orioles
  • Queensland Firebirds
  • Sydney Swifts

Given the popularity netball for women in Australia, with 389,400 women having participated in 2002, I would have suspected some interest in the premiere competition on Facebook.  Yet according to Facebook’s Advertising targeting, no one is interested in any of those teams.  This with 60,200 people interested in netball by Australians on Facebook.   Most of the fans are female: 53,920 or 89.5%.  Interest in Australia’s national netball team is at 1,580 with 1,360 being female.  This interest in the sport and in the national team just is not translating into interest in teams in the major competition.

Edited to add: My bad.  This competition came to an end in 2007.  While Facebook has some fans in defunct teams, two years later it isn’t that surprising that there are not people interested in these teams as Facebook penetration is Australia is slower than it was in the United States, where people may have listed interests years ago and never got around to updating them.
