WESTS TIGERS TO LAUNCH SOCIAL NETWORK
5/07/2011 3:52:30 PM
>
With the rapidly increasing presence of social media, Wests Tigers have taken the innovative step of establishing their own Wests Tigers Social Network.
>
The network which will be launched in mid-late July will bring together all the functionality of popular social platforms on one dedicated Wests Tigers platform built for the Wests Tigers fan!
>
Wests Tigers Social is all the latest up-to-date information and hot topics in one destination, built for you – the fans!
>
The Wests Tigers Social Network will enable supporters of the club and sports fans alike to interact and engage through wall posts, blog diaries, instant messaging, chat forums and content sharing of videos, pictures and web links among others.
>
Excitingly, each user will have full functionality to create their own profiles, establish user settings and develop their own online supporter personality. The platform has been developed to allow users the freedom to express their individuality and ultimately show their support for their favourite sporting team.
>
To be made available on both Web and Mobile Applications, the Wests Tigers Social Network will enable supporters search, download, browse and engage wherever they may be
>
This will be the ultimate platform for any Wests Tigers supporter. The platform is also enabled to send push notifications to users, just like other social networks to ensure that you are always up to date with the latest information and always know when your friends are online.
>
Wests Tigers supporters will be kept up to date with all of the latest news, behind the scenes information and be able to connect with other Wests Tigers supporters to discuss breaking stories.
>
**The new Wests Tigers social network will also provide an opportunity for supporters to chat online with players and other key staff on a regular basis.** The site will also feature live Twitter feeds from the Wests Tigers players – a one-stop social networking shop.
>
Supporters will be able to register and utilise the network for FREE with the opportunity to purchase a host of virtual gifts, exclusive video content, imagery and other downloads.
>
Wests Tigers will also integrate exclusive merchandise, sponsor special offers and ticketing promotions into the social network,
>
Fan engagement will be a priority focus of the new platform with fan videos and blogs to be featured on the network. The aim of the network is to bring our supporters closer together, allowing them to engage not only with each other but also the players, key staff and other rugby league fans.

Sounds interesting…..

Edit:
Is this that yuuzooo thing they launched last year?
I vaguely remember it being a rort of sorts...."free" but not really ''free'?
 
Haha! love the faux-conversation in the chatroom sidebar..

**Haley:**
HEY! Are you guys coming out to the game tonight!
>
**Matt:**
I didnt know the tigers were playing tonight!
>
**Nora:**
Me either! haha

What kind of WT fan doesn't know when its game night?!

Could be interesting though.. provided it lives up to the initial premise.
 
I think I'll stick with this forum. Call me a cynic but I think the new 'social network' will be contrived. Hope it's not like that yuuzoo thing that left me with a $1500 mobile phone bill which took nearly a month and threats of legal action to sort out!!!

Sounds great I've already signed up to be a member when they launch. I must also give credit to the Tigers marketing team for another fantastic new iniative - being a marketing pro myself I have been really impressed with their work in the last couple of years - still areas to improve but one of the best in the NRL

BB - I too have Marketing Creds so I am very interested to watch from a far on this one and gage response.

I struggle with the Fake Facebook Friendship model for detailed discussions…

I will be researching youzoo a little later.
