Australian Olympian online footprint growth methodology part two

Posted by Laura on Friday, 27 January, 2012

I’m still trying to figure out how to get day by day numbers that will allow for the examination of online daily activity on different parts of the internet to give an idea as to the size of the activity and interest related to Australian Olympians. The program I have to do this was modified today to include a search for the total daily posts mentioning the Olympian on Icerocket, and the total number of open questions created in the past day about an Australian Olympian on Yahoo!Answers. (Tomorrow, I’m hoping to add a total number of posts in the Sydney Morning Herald to the total list.) I still haven’t figured out how to make an equation to allow really good day to day comparisons with one number that can eventually be charted. For the moment, I’ve decided if the Alexa rank is between 10,000,000 and 30,000,000, it gets 2 points. If it is less than 10,000,000, then the Alexa value is 5 points. Australian and New Zealand ranking columns are removed as none rank. I’ve also, for the sake of points, divided the total Wikipedia article views in the past 30 days by 30 to get a daily average. Everything else is worth the total “points” seen for the sake of ranking. The list of “Olympians” isn’t complete because the team has not been completely named and some of this is purely speculative. (And looking at the Ebay results, there needs to be some refining to try to get rid of non-obvious results.)

Rethinking my literature review

Posted by Laura on Tuesday, 14 June, 2011

Totally rewriting my review of literature. I’m not certain this is the best idea but I’m going to do it anyway. :/ I’m looking at the dissertation of some one who did sport tourism. Their dissertation is about 250 pages. Their review of literature eats up pages 26 to page 108. This seems really long. Mine was much shorter and my methodology was much longer than their methdology. This all tends to make me insecure.

What I think I am going to do with my review of literature is reorganise and rewrite the damned thing into the following sections:

Sport sociology

Sport tourism

Sport marketing

Fans and the media

Popular culture studies

A definition of sport fandomEach section will look at how sport fans are treated by that group, how those groups depict fans and explain how fans respond to events taking place in their community and then come up with a definition for fans. I’ve got the latter, minus sport tourism. I’ve come to the conclusion that for at least one chapter, the one on bicycling, I can’t find sources talking about its characteristics in the traditional sense because they use sport fandom type phrases that I know but talk about fandom in a way that is more participation for cycling than I see for Aussie rules football. The goal is say have people fly from Melbourne to Perth to compete in a bicycle event, than it is to have people fly from Melbourne to Perth to watch Lance Armstong or Cadel Evans. That’s why I feel like they need to be there. Still, hugely yeah. I have the sources to do that… but just a bit scary to need to do that rewriting and no clue how it will come out.

The historical information about the sport teams that I have I think I will move into mini literature reviews about a team that preface the larger results chapter. So the chapter about AFL team characteristics will be a microchapter in front of the first major chapter about the AFL. The NRL information will be in front of the first major chapter about those teams.

Hoping that by doing this I will address comments by my upgrade assessors and my supervisors.

Most popular female Australian (and New Zealand) sport related Twitter accounts (December 11)

Posted by Laura on Saturday, 11 December, 2010

This is an updated version of from November 13 , November 16, November 18 , November 24, and December 1. I’m getting this list on a daily basis now. If people want an update, please let me know and I will happily provide. clairebevo moved ahead of SharelleVixens. paigehareb and caseydellacqua moved ahead of MelbourneVixens. That’s the major movement for the top ten accounts. (I’d speculate that the lack of the Melbourne Vixens playing has hurt the relative popularity of the team in terms of gaining new followers.) I don’t know that many accounts have been added to this list. I know at least one female tennis player was added.

If anyone has an Australian or New Zealand women’s social media (web) analysis, let me know. I will be happy to see if I can think of something to write or find more data to start formulating an analysis.

Anna Meares: Twitter geographic growth in response to gold

Posted by Laura on Tuesday, 7 December, 2010

If you go back through my previous posts, my Twitter location methodology can be found. That out of the way, I was curious if there was a geographic shift in follower patterns in response to her gold. (Just a general disclaimer, locations outside of Australia and New Zealand are likely to be under counted as the emphasis isn’t on them.) It doesn’t look like there was any shift in follower patterns. No one state grew any more than any other. It doesn’t look like @annameares activated any regional interest in her cycling. Growth was generally consistent across the country.

Anna Meares: Twitter growth in response to gold

Posted by Laura on Monday, 6 December, 2010

In case you missed it, Anna Meares won three gold medals at the Melbourne World Cup, including won in the 500m time trial where she beat Sandie Clair of France. This gold medal performance appears to have resulted in an increased amount of interest in the cyclist on Twitter. The slope of the line for follower acquisition in the period between November 28 to December 1 was 4.5. The period between December 1 and December 5 was 11.25. On a graph, this looks like:

It would be interesting to see if this pattern held for other gold medal winners in Australian sport.
