Web Teams and Twitter and Facebook

Browsing through the fantastic Web Teams sites that you set up, the trend of using Twitter.com or Facebook.com to complement Web Teams is growing. A couple of examples of this are given below:

1. Twitter

Tipton Town FC have a twitter feed giving teaser information for every Web Teams story. So they enter a story or match report in Web Teams, then they "tweet" this news. Their 100+ followers are informed that the news is live and then can go and read the story and look at the latest league table and statistics.

Web Teams is used for the official site with the best statistics and charts - but Twitter is used as an essential media promoting the latest news.

2. Facebook

If you want loads of photos and loads of informal banter back and forward between the players, then the place to do this a Facebook page for your site. Within Facebook, making this private to those in your club is just a setting to apply to the site.

Web Teams works in parallel with this as the official face of your club. Your Facebook club site is there for all of the daft stuff. Web Teams is there for the formal news items, the official league table and goal scorers stats etc...

This is demonstrated really well with the Morley Town Sunday club Facebook site:
