I believe that it is separate from the #nascar that anyone can put in their tweets. This seems like a twitter for lazy NASCAR fans to follow easily during the race w/o having to figure out twitter and follow 100's of NASCAR personalities. I created a new account and signed up to follow the #NASCAR page and it automatically signed me up to follow 15 nascar personalities who tweet alot: @nascar , @nascar_tnt, @jimmiejohnson, biffle, kenseth, kyle petty, delana, jeff gordon, keselowski, samantha busch, etc. Seems like a marketing ploy to get people to sign up to twitter while at the same time enhancing the TV coverage. I expect some other sports or live events to go the same route in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3740459349965125802012-05-23T12:42:14.917-04:002012-05-23T12:42:14.917-04:00This comes closer to what I want from Twitter than...This comes closer to what I want from Twitter than what I've seen in previous experiments. I get more information than I can assimilate, much of it off the subject I'm interested. In short, I need someone to filter it for me; unlike some of you, I haven't figured out to do that effectively for myself. I don't want to subscribe to multiple posters; I want to subscribe to subject-specific hashtags. That way, I'll only get what people post during the race on Sunday without being bombarded by their personal, non-racing posts the rest of the week. This sounds closer to what I'd like than what I've seen before, but I've just finished my biennial Twitter exploration so it will be a while before look at it again.<br /><br />As to TNT and others overdoing the Twitter content inserted in to broadcasts, I confess I don't get it (like many other aspects of Twitter and social media in general). If I wanted to see what was on Twitter, wouldn't I be looking at it? Broadcast partners don't stream MRN / PRN audio during the race (although many wish they would); how is this different? It's just another distracting bar across the screen, leaving the images smaller than ever.Charlie Spencernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29845675550585743362012-05-23T12:33:31.406-04:002012-05-23T12:33:31.406-04:00West Coast Diane said:

Then I hope tons of folks follow #NASCAR. LOL! <br /><br />I have seen #'s "hijacked".

(A NASCAR play-by-play announcer told me they specifically do not mention rain because their research says people start switching in anticipation.) If there's rain 5 miles away and it's headed to the track, it might explain a crew chief's decision not to pit or only gas and go.<br /><br />Something tells me this is going to be like the song, "Home on the Range."

One, passing along tweets that Twitter and NASCAR see as relevent. Two, adding content to the stream to support Twitter and NASCAR agendas. Three, eliminating "negative" tweets as part of the big movement this year to place the blame for everything wrong with the sport on a mysterious group of fans.<br /><br />Please refer to my earlier columns about Darrell Waltrip calling out Twitter as something that is bad for the sport and Robin Pemberton called "needy" the fans who tweeted that TV should show debris when a questionalble caution is thrown in a Sprint Cup Series race.<br /><br />Social media is having an effect on NASCAR and there is an ongoing struggle to figure out how to deal with it and who should be in charge of it.<br /><br />As NASCAR transitions all the digital assets away from Turner and brings them in-house it will be interesting to see if a diverse social media community blooms or if "brand marketing" tactics will be used to divide fans into either supporters or haters.<br /><br />Away from the track, the evolution of NASCAR's social media presence may be the biggest story of the year.<br /><br />JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3357993001863250922012-05-22T12:28:42.402-04:002012-05-22T12:28:42.402-04:00Nascar has zero credibility with me.

Some just sit there, a few mom & pop shops, I understand to keep in good with customers, feedback, to fix a gripe.<br /><br />But it dilutes the original way of twitter for individuals. Now folks use it to "sell things or sell ideas" or chastise fans as in the case of NASCAR.<br /><br />Like news outfits tweet about accidents, fires, local happenings without knowing the who, what, when, where, how and tweet too SOON before getting out facts.<br /><br />Thus you gotta be sure who you follow and who you RT (repeat the tweet)<br /><br />I'm careful who I follow so it should be interesting to see how TNT does this since their broadcast in the past have been good!<br /><br />Also sorry to read on Twitter Bob Jenkins is retiring due to ill wife.

As sports go NASCAR has a history of a near-fanatical obsession with control, but I would note (just for example) the NFL does too and all sports leagues want to make more and more money.<br /><br />The trick to now has been how to do this and I predict an evolution has begun. The simple #NASCAR will evolve and will become the only means one can follow, oh say, the driver currently known as #Kesolowski, etc.<br /><br />#NASCAR's long season and fan concentration for marquee events will help in the development and once it is underway a stop will be put to the squawking and bedlam of the uninformed, the ignorant and the irrational malcontents who disturb the peace. <br /><br />We will have no more needy fans.
