The NASCAR spotter for Ricky
Stenhouse, Jr. and Trevor Bayne is boasting a social media-driven, interactive
website for both veteran and rookie race fans. In addition to news, editorials
and exclusive photos, PopularSpeed will offer race fans an opportunity to win
race tickets, pit passes and NASCAR swag through contests and giveaways on a
regular basis.
"Digital and Social
Media platforms are literally changing daily," said Calinoff. "There
was an opportunity to produce a different way to deliver content to the race
fans, while opening up a forum for them to express themselves as well. It's
going to be a lot of fun for everyone."
Calinoff has assembled a
corps of both well-recognized writers and "development journalists"
to bring the fans to the nucleus of the sport.
In an effort to give two of
Twitter's most noted personalities a voice of more than 140 characters, the
popular @TheOrangeCone and @nascarcasm will contribute with their unique and
humorous perspectives.
Too bad they force FB use to comment!
ReplyDeleteAnother NASCAR related site with no reason to visit it because of a poorly thought out platform and forcing social media upon readers to make comments.
As of July 15th, there were 1.11 Billion people on Facebook. Let me know if you hear of a netter platform.
ReplyDeleteMike,
DeleteI guess if you are looking for viewers for your advertisers you made the right choice.
If you were actually looking to serve NASCAR fans, as the header claims, perhaps you should have looked the fans leaving ESPN's site because of the same FB comment system.
I guess the real question of "Do you want to run with the pack or be a leader in the world of internet racing information?" is answered by your FB user statistics though.
I am sure all your sponsors are pleased with your stats though.
I find it entertaining that you felt the need to come comment here about my comment about your comment system.
No FB log in required here.
Thanks to the GodFa for that.
Or even a better platform!
ReplyDeleteSpell check was off on the browser or he was thrown off by the lack of a FB log in option to comment. LOL
