NHL Drives Buzz with Tweetups

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:16:03 GMT

clipped by: nealstewart
clipper's remarks: This is a pretty cool casy study on how the National Hockey League (who haven't always been the best marketers) stimulated buzz and interest around the playoffs last year by holding tweet-ups in NHL cities. They did this in both playoff and non-playoff cities - so it was really targeted toward the hard-core fan who just enjoys the sport.

When I was with Flying Dog Brewery, we had good success creating tweetups to build stronger awareness and relationships with our consumers. But the cool thing is that loyal consumer who would come to the event would almost always bring someone who was less familiar with the brand, so we got to talk to a partially new audience.

The great thing about tweetups is that you can really build the event around any theme because the objective is to come and meet like-minded people. Whether it's the love of hockey, beer or charity event if you get the word out to the right people and throw out an interesting offer for their attendance, people will come

The NHL spent only a few weeks and a few thousand dollars planning and supporting the tweet-ups, but the results were fantastic:

Big in-person attendance. More than 1200 people attended tweet-ups in 23 cities (including events in New Zealand and Northern Ireland) for the opening night of the playoffs. Many fans organized further tweet-ups as their teams progressed through the playoffs as well

Bigger online chatter. Those attendees talked a lot about the events on Twitter: On the opening night of the playoffs, the term "NHL" was mentioned on Twitter more than twice as often as on a normal day. And #NHLtweetup became a trending topic for the day.

Enormous total reach. According to the league's research, as many as 240,000 people could have heard about the event on Twitter. And the tweet-ups also generated press coverage that reached millions, including a story in USA Today.

clipper's remarks: The right room temperature plays an important role in your sleep.

Studies have found that in general, the optimal temperature for sleep is quite cool, around 60 (15.5 C) to 68 (20 C) degrees Fahrenheit. For some, temperatures that fall too far below or above this range can lead to restlessness.

Optimal Temperature for a Good Sleep

The right room temperature plays an important role in your sleep.

Studies have found that in general, the optimal temperature for sleep is quite cool, around 60 (15.5 C) to 68 (20 C) degrees Fahrenheit. For some, temperatures that fall too far below or above this range can lead to restlessness.

Temperatures in this range, it seems, help facilitate the decrease in core body temperature that in turn initiates sleepiness. A growing number of studies are finding that temperature regulation plays a role in many cases of chronic insomnia. Researchers have shown, for example, that insomniacs tend to have a warmer core body temperature than normal sleepers just before bed, which leads to heightened arousal and a struggle to fall asleep as the body tries to reset its internal thermostat.

DIY: listening to electromagnetic fields

It’s amazing how many electromagnetic fields are all around us. The cool part about it is that it’s very easy to be able to hear the fields that are in the audible range. Here’s a quick and easy DIY project that will help you do just that.

All you need is the electronic guts of an old cassettte walkman. You can pick these up at thrift stores for next to nothing (hey, who uses tapes anymore?). Rip out everything except the circuit board, the tape head, power source and audio connector. It’s best to use the batteries if you can because power adapters have their own EM field.

That’s it.. you’re done. Just take your device, point it at anything that would have an EM field (try close to parts of your laptop – laptops have a huge amount of different EM fields coming from them), and plug the audio output into your computer or powered speakers. You can record the output with any old audio recording software (windows has a voice recorder built in.)

A closer look at Andy Ho’s “reasons for Singapore to be cool on global warming”

Next, Andy brings up the case of Lord Christopher Monckton, who is said to be a former policy advisor to Margaret Thatcher. Monckton works for the Heartland Institute – a think-tank funded by ExxonMobil to the tune of at least US$791,000 since 1998 – as a “global warming expert”, Roy Spencer, who is later mentioned in the commentary, also has close links to Heartland Institute, even though he says he does not receive funding from oil companies.

Sometimes I like to look for unusual applications of digital technology. Other times, I like to look for cool new things in digital technology. The Motorola Droid smartphone might be one of the coolest things to come along since…well, maybe the iPhone. I checked, and it looks like Amazon is already set to go with their Motorola Droid gear.
