Thanks for catching that Mike, I accidently missed them.

@realpatriots has 30K+ followers and is labeled as their official presence. There is also @patriotsdotcom with 6K+ followers that includes content from patriots.com.

Interesting quick read, thanks for the info. The Giants and Saints should be pretty embarrassed by the lack of presence.

One question: Your grid lists the Patriots as having the most Twitter followers with 30k but the text claims the Chargers as No. 1 with 28k so…which is it?

Thanks again–Mike

Great info. I was curious to know the activity of all o the franchises and you’ve summed it up here. The league is slowly embracing social media, but the problem is that there’s no cookie-cutter strategy that could fit each team the same way becuase no 2 teams are alike and, similarly, no two teams’ fans are the same. It’ll be interesting to see how their efforts increase as more talk about the need for a social media presence continues.

Great post. Really interesting stuff, I wonder how these match up with franchise valuation? That’d be an interesting thing to see as well. I don’t think the NFL sees it clearly yet. They are going to need a groundswell to get the NFL network on every cable tv in the country and that is the goldmine ahead of them.

Thanks for sharing.
