Also on March 22, we discussed social network sites in class. Social network sites are sites where users dictate the content and/or the popularity and visibility of that content. Some of the most popular social media sites are Facebook, and Twitter. These sites allow teams or athletes to create a page for him/her self and give updates on themselves and interact with fans. It also allows fans of the same team or athlete to interact with each other.
These social network sites can be accessed on a computer with the internet or on a smartphone or Iphone/Itouch. I think social network sites are great for interacting with athletes and other fans that share the same passion that you do. I also like how you can communicate directly with an athlete. When an athlete that you look up to responds back to your message, it is a great feeling knowing that they appreciate that you support them. These sites also help to update fans on events, promotions, or other activities that may be going on within a team. Overall, social networking sites are very helpful and useful and have opened up doors that many fans in the past did not even dream of.

I really enjoyed looking at this website because it gave other social networking sites specifically for sports that are very interesting. I have already made a profile for a few of these sites. These also help show the connection between athletes, fans, different media (such as CNN sports and SI), and information on different teams and players.
