An Australian sport wiki

Posted by Laura on Monday, 11 October, 2010

I’m currently toying around with the idea of creating a large Australian sport wiki. I’ve had a lot of data for a while to allow me to do this. Some of the data I have includes:

  • A list of Australian sport teams.  List is about 3,000 teams long.  It often contains some other information like when teams were founded, team colors, etc.  This can be combined with a list of Australian sport teams on Twitter and Facebook.
  • A list of Australian sport venues.  This can be merged with a list of Australian sport venues on Gowalla and Foursquare.
  • A list of Australian athletes on Twitter and Facebook.  This is probably about 100 large.
  • A list of Australian sport organizations on Twitter and Facebook.  This is probably about 50 large.
  • A list of Australian sport fans on Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal and its clones, bebo, orkut, Wikipedia.  This list is probably close to about 20,000 long.

This data could easily be supplemented with the following information that would be easily mineable:

  • A list of AFL, NRL and other Australian professional athletes sorted by team.
  • A list of other Australian athletes.
  • A list of Australian sport organizations.
  • A list of Australian sport journalists and broadcasters.
  • A list of Australian sport websites.

This list could be further supplemented by:

  • Importing Australian sport pictures from Flickr.
  • Importing Australian sport videos from YouTube.

The quality of the wiki wouldn’t necessarily be all that high.  Most of the initial content would be stub.  Still, if I had a bot programmer and I was willing to devote a month to the project, it would be reasonably comprehensive in terms of initial content for others to use to build from.  It would possibly help in terms of developing a large idea of the scope of sport in Australia by giving an idea as to the size of the fan community, the depth of the interest in various sports, the number of teams, when those teams were created and folded, where sports are more popular than others.  (Though that all depends on the data mining that goes into the initial content.)  What keeps me from doing this is the fact that I feel like it might be a time sink of a month to create this content and I’m not sure if the time sink is worth the effort.  Basically, I need external motivation.

Twitter: A Solution to the Follow Spammers

Posted by Laura on Tuesday, 5 October, 2010

I’m having another period of annoyance with Twitter. I really feel like I should probably turn off alerts for followers again because right now? I’m pretty much putting people on a spammer list if they have 2,000 people they already follow. I’m also sending out cranky DMs blasting people for doing this sort of following.

For the past two months, I’ve spent a lot of time looking at Twitter. I’ve looked at follower counts. I’ve looked at follower geographic patterns. I’ve looked at people’s descriptions. I’ve looked at people’s geographic locations. The point of this is often to determine the geographic location of Australian sport fandom. I’ve read a fair bit on technology blogs about Twitter to help further my own understanding of Twitter to help me with intended mini-literature review in my Twitter chapter of my dissertation. I’ve basically been ODing on Twitter. There is a lot of interesting stuff out there.

But as a user? I’m getting pretty cranky. Seriously cranky. Every day, it feels like I’m getting 2 to 10 follows (across about 3 different accounts) from people who I don’t know, who are not geographically close to where I’m writing about, who don’t appear interested in professional sports, who have low interaction rates, who have 2,000+ people they follow. As part of my research, I constantly ask: What is the ROI for a team on Twitter in terms of where their audience is located? How can they best leverage their network? What can they provide for their fans to induce them to follow them? How can their fans help them? As a user, I can’t see how the people like I describe who follow me gain any benefit from that. (They can’t read me. I can barely keep up with 350. I function more or less because Americans get neglected as they post while I sleep.) (In one case, I got followed and unfollowed by about 5 times by the same user with 4,000 followers. ) As a user, I can’t see what they offer me. They rarely bother to explain.

And this is killing my desire to stay on Twitter. Seriously killing my desire to stay on Twitter. I just can’t. There are people I want and need to keep track of on Twitter for professional reasons. (The personal ones are almost exclusively on Facebook these days. On that level, I don’t feel the need to stay.) If you’re not active on Twitter and you cover social media, people sometimes doubt your legitimacy because you’re not using the product you’re discussing.

What I’d really like is for Twitter to make the following reforms:

1. Add a field for follow philosophy. It can be selecting from a list. It can be freeform writing. This way, when people follow others, they can see if they have a mutual philosophy. “I follow back people everyone.” “I follow friends, family and professional acquaintances.” “I follow celebrities.” “I follow only people with less than 1,000 followers.”
2. Allow people to block people with certain follow totals unless you follow them first. (I want to block anyone with 1,500 people they follow from following me first. If you want to follow me, interact with me first. Otherwise, add me to a list.) This way, spam following by power users is cut back.

The two following methods would help to kill off the Twitter spam following (and yes, your unwanted e-mail notification that you followed me to never read me is spam. It is unwanted and unsolicited and you didn’t indicate any mutual interest.) and help prevent my own fatigue. I use and prefer Facebook more than Twitter precisely because I’m not inundated with unwanted announcements like that.

Which AFL team do Canberrans support in the Grand Final?

Posted by Laura on Wednesday, 15 September, 2010

Canberra has traditionally been a place that people aren’t from.  Rather, it is a place that people have traditionally moved to.  When they move, they take their sporting loyalties with them.  For that reason, there is a conflicting mess of sport loyalties in the city.  If you went to see the Sydney Swans play the Western Bulldogs at Manuka Oval this year, you could clearly see these different loyalties on display as it pertains to the AFL.  On the whole, I’ve generally found Canberrans to be pretty good with these loyalties: You can safely wear your team’s kit with out fear that some stranger is going to take the piss out of you.

The Grand Final is soon approaching.  Given the different sporting loyalties, it is interesting to see which team people in Canberra are barracking for.  Is one team more popular than another?  Do Canberran loyalties mirror national loyalties?

One way of measuring loyalty and team identification is to count how many people follow a team on Twitter.  All followers combined, Collingwood 7,381 followers, St. Kilda has 4,492 followers, Geelong has 2,153 and the Western Bulldogs have 1,554.  When Twitter followers for each team are filtered by location using time zones and user listed location, you can get an idea as to how many Canberrans are followers of the various teams playing in the Grand Finals:

Suburb Collingwood Magpies Geelong Cats St Kilda Saints Western Bulldogs
Barton 0 0 1 0
Canberra 62 10 28 17
Canberra International Airport 0 1 0 0
Capital Hill 1 0 0 0
City 0 0 0 1
Dickson 0 0 1 0
Gordon 0 1 0 0
Theodore 1 0 0 0
Total 64 12 30 18

It isn’t that big of a surprise that Collingwood is number one. Roy Morgan Research had them as the most popular Melbourne based team in 2009.  Beyond that, Canberrans on Twitter buck the popularity trend.  Roy Morgan has Geelong at number 2.  On Twitter, Canberrans are the least likely to follow Geelong.  Roy Morgan had the Western Bulldogs last.   Canberrans had them at third.  Overall, when compared to total number of followers for a team, Canberrans don’t  always follow the national patterns.  Again, Geelong and the Western Bulldogs are the ones that don’t match: More people follow Geelong on Twitter but more Canberrans on Twitter follow the Western Bulldogs.  It looks like Canberrans, who don’t have their own AFL team, follow a different drummer than the one that beats on a national level.

Another way to measure team loyalty and team identification in Canberra is to use Facebook.  Facebook says that there are 198,500 users who live in the ACT and 175,900 people who live within 50 miles of Canberra.  What Grand Finals teams do Canberrans like?

Area Collingwood Magpies Geelong Cats St Kilda Saints Western Bulldogs
Canberra – Within 50 miles 4,540 760 1,100 280
Australian Capital Territory 5,080 1,040 1,240 300

Well, not the Western Bulldogs, that’s for sure.  Canberran fans on Facebook much more clearly follow the national patterns as established by Roy Morgan.

Other social networks exist and Canberran sport fans are present on them.  One such network is LiveJournal (and its clones).  There are a number of fans on it who list their teams as an interest on their profile:   4 for Collingwood,  22 for Geelong,  16 for St. Kilda and 23  for the Western Bulldogs.  When broken down by city and state, there are two fans from the ACT who list Geelong as an interest and one fan who lists the Saints as an interest.  This pattern for the ACT does not mirror the pattern for the whole of LiveJournal.  It also doesn’t follow the pattern for team fandom size as identified by Roy Morgan Research.

Over on 43 things, there is one Canberran who has a goal related to an AFL team.  It just isn’t a team in the finals.  (The Canberran has a goal of buying a Sydney Swans jumper.)  On bebo, there are 18 people identified as being from the ACT who list an AFL team as an interest, four of which list a Grand Finals team as an interest.  Two support Collingwood, one supports Geelong and one supports St. Kilda.  This pattern mirrors the national one as established by Roy Morgan Research.  On Blogger, there are four people from the ACT who list an AFL team as an interest.  Of these four, only one lists a finals bound team: Geelong.

What does tell us?  Canberran AFL fans are most likely to be found on Facebook.  Their support of their clubs is similar to the national club support though there are differences.    Different social networks attract Canberrans fans of different teams.  It shouldn’t be that hard to find a like minded fan who will support your team if you’re here for the game.  The easiest time of doing that will probably be for Collingwood Supporters but Bulldog fans shouldn’t be that worried either.  Just go on Twitter Doggies fans and reach out to your fellow Canberrans.

Most popular Australian athletes, clubs, leagues and sport organizations on Twitter

Posted by Laura on Monday, 13 September, 2010

It has been a while since I’ve done one of these lists of most popular. I’m hoping this list is more comprehensive than others I’ve done. The list includes all Australian athletes, clubs, leagues and sport organizations on Twitter that I’m aware of. There are a few cases where athletes and clubs outside Australia have been included. These are on there because the league they are part of is primarily Australian based: The Super 14, the A-League, the NRL, the Tri-Nations Cup,  the ANZ Championship, and the NBL. If anyone is missing, let me know. I’m especially interested in athletes competing in the Commonwealth Games.

This list doesn’t necessarily have much meaning from an analysis viewpoint. It can provide insight into some of the leagues, teams and athletes that do social media better. It might suggest who the most popular people and groups are online. Taken as a whole, it might suggest the best type of update strategy for getting followers. Or it might not. This information doesn’t exists in isolation and additional analysis is needed to impart greater meaning.

Now, on with the list…
