Sports Marketing 2.0

Re-thinking sports marketing now that fans are in charge

Following Facebook

For anyone out there is interested in keeping up with Facebook news and trends, I'd recommend the following blogs:

All Facebook - http://www.allfacebook.com

Inside Facebook - http://www.insidefacebook.com

Maybe you'll be able to learn something that you can apply to your marketing efforts. In the very least, it's important to understand how social networking is changing the way people keep up with each other and interact, and (obviously) Facebook is a huge player right now.

Mashable is my all time favorite website for keeping up with social networking/web 2.0 news. What are everyone else's favorite resources for these topics?

Mashable is quite strong. I also read Micropersuasion and paidcontent.org regularly, and the Marketing and Technoloy blog at www.douglaskarr.com

Good new adds. Thanks.
Specific to Facebook I would check out http://20bits.com/. Jesse created and sold a Facebook data mining tool (Adonomics). He has a solid understanding of the guts of the Platform.

Two other good sources for the inter workings of web2.0 are:

Andrew Chen (check out his work on the viral coefficient)

and

David McClure (straight forward insights)

Email Power Rankings for MLB teams
