Spothon Debuts Sports Social Media Viewing Application

Ready to slug it out with PlayUp and OneLouderApps is Japan-based Spothon, Inc., which allows people to interact on mobile devices at the same time they are using their mobile devices to watch a game.

Spothon is the latest in a growing list of mobile sports application developers looking for ways to enhance the sports fan’s viewing experience via mobile devices and tablets. All of them may be slightly ahead of the market because, although significant numbers of people are moving their viewing experience to mobile devices, sponsors and advertisers tend to be reluctant to step up with significant commitments to the direct marketing opportunities popular applications enable. Today, sponsorship and advertising dollars are centralized around big brands.

Spothon’s twist is that it allows people to participate within a virtual stadium, which is has dubbed “real view.”  Today, Spothon supports professional Soccer, Baseball, Football, Ice Hockey and Rugby. The application is available for Android.

Here’s a demo:

 

 

Tim Tebow A No Show As StatSheet Beats NFL to All-Pro Punch

StatSheet, the robotic sports news service that provides stories and stats as they happen, jumped ahead of the National Football League today by releasing ranks and grades that show how each player performed on a game-by-game basis.

In its selections, StatSheet demonstrated statistically that Denver Broncos phenom QB Tim Tebow is nowhere near qualified to play in the game in Hawaii.

The complete list of StatSheet selections at the key offensive positions appears at the bottom of this blog post.

The NFL is scheduled to release its All-Pro selections later today.

StatSheet’s All-Pro team was created by Joe Procopio — the StatSheet team member most responsible for promoting StatSheet, and developing its community. The listing is branded by StatSheet as the NFL All-StatSheet Team. Mobile sports fans can expect to see this grow into an annual event, as StatSheet works to become a trusted source for fast and accurate sports information .

StatSheet works differently than ESPN, CBS Sports, Yahoo Sports and most competitors. It draws in-depth information from all available sources of real-time sports information, and assembles it into automated sports stories, drill-down statistics and graphics. Sports is the first subject interested StatSheet’s parent company is tackling, but it is likely to eventually compete or partner in financial services with such companies as Bloomberg.

Here is StatSheet’s 2011 All-Pro team:

NFL: Thursday Night Games Average 450,000 Online Viewers

In case you were still wondering whether or not online access hurts regular-television audience numbers, here’s another data point to confirm that it doesn’t: The NFL said Monday that TV views of its Thursday night NFL Network games is up 8 percent over last year, while its online audience is averaging 450,000 unique views per game.

The 450,000 number isn’t broken down between viewers of the streaming coverage at NFLNetwork.com or folks watching via Verizon Wireless’s NFL Mobile app, but either way the aggregate total is impressive, and a signal that there may be even more of an appetite for NFL content than was previously thought.

With the Super Bowl slated for online streaming, it is the guess of MSR that the days of online access being a novelty have ended and now an online outlet will become the norm rather than the exception. How that plays into rights contracts and teams’ marketing campaigns is something still in its infancy, but it will be a compelling story we’ll follow closely in 2012.

Verizon Wireless Strategist Discusses Super Bowl With Beet.TV

Outlining Super Bowl plans and the mobile sports experience, Hans Schroeder, Verizon Wireless SVP for Media Strategy, appeared today on Beet.TV, discussing triple-digit growth of sports viewing on mobile devices and what mobile sports users can expect from the live-streaming experience. It is one of the best interviews by a carrier executive to date.

AT&T 1st Telco to Use Foursquare Badge Contest

Giving away a trip for two to the 2013 BCS National Championship game, AT&T will offer fans a chance to unlock foursquare badges at check-in locations for all of the BCS title games, as well as select sports bars. Running between Jan. 2 and Jan. 9, the name of the promotion is “AT&T Football Fanatic. ”

Guidelines for the game appear on a Facebook page.

Badges are the essence of foursquare, the booming social media platform, because it has turned social media into a game. Earning badges allow people to stand out from others.

With its “AT&T Football Fanatic” contest, AT&T is one of the most aggressive large brands to leverage foursquare thus far.AT&T VP  Wireless Data, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets Ted Woodbury called foursquare “a unique social media platform.” At foursquare, the game was sold and coordinated by a team led by VP of Mobile and International Holger Luedorf.

 

BCS Games where AT&T will enable check-in are the Jan. 2 Rose Bowl, Jan. 2 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Jan. 3 Allstate Sugar Bowl, Jan. 4 Discover Orange Bowl and Jan. 9 Allstate BCS National Championship.

Another example of AT&T’s commitment to foursquare is a popular AT&T Blackberry Torch 4G commercial that’s currently in heavy rotation during network sports coverage, a Dilbert-type declares himself “Mayor Dennis of the Water Cooler.”
