Big Data – Social Media On Sports

by bernt & torsten

Using Big Data has become one of the buzzwords that are in the news on a daily basis, with big data you can find out what is going on in your business, or what is mentioned about your company in social media. Nothing is different from social media on sports.

So my friends over at Betting Sites have created an infographic to show the impact of social media on sports. In today’s sports world, we’re witnessing that every team, league, or sports association has at least one social media profile where they announce all important information.

During a big sports event, you will witness Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram news feed overwhelmed with information, real-time gifs, vines, or memes about the sports event.

Every sports event or show has a related hashtag that creates a relationship with the audience and brings a fast response. Athletes use social media to establish their name, communicate with their fans, announce their activities, and even promote brands and make money, as they have millions of followers.

The infographic below, created by the Betting Sites team, will help you understand the growing impact of social media on sports and learn many interesting facts that you probably didn’t know.
