This week they focused on a lot of injury reports. Saying that Brad Lidge and Joe Blanton (pitchers) feel they are ready to come back, Brad Lidge will be coming back Friday, Joe soon. Other then that same typical tweets from the Phils. Late inning heroics gave them the win on Wednesday was a big tweet, they almost got swept by the Giants but won in 11.

During/ After class my group met and decided what we were going to do, so I'll talk about that for this blog. We are doing a social media campaign for Best Buy. Focusing on their Greener Together campaign which s for recycling old electronics. We are going to do a YouTube Video and make a facebook. The logo for the Facebook will be the Best Buy pricetag logo turned green instead of yellow and instead of the words Best Buy it'll say Greener Together. I'll make that for the group in Photoshop.

The Phillies just tweeted this week about the new giant contract extension they made with Ryan Howard. Its a guaranteed 125 Million with an additional 5 years. Also the rest of their tweets were about just the final scores and recaps of their games. I guess the good thing about following them is they are guaranteed to post something every day because they play nearly every day, and they'll also post things about off field talk. I don't usually get all of their info off Twitter, I get it on my MLB at bat 2010 iPhone app, and facebook, but when I go to check Twitter for my blog, everything is identical anyway. I look at repeat information all day every day from them, so I always know the latest news.

When we talked about Google Analytics in class, I thought the concept of what it does is a great thing for any business to have. I think it is more useful for bigger businesses, ones that have websites that are frequently visited, because it's a great thing to know. Even for smaller businesses however, if they are lucky enough to have a decent website, because a lot of local smaller business don't, its good to know who is interested in you, and what people are looking for when they find you. I don't know if I'd be able to keep track of it for a business, too many numbers and I thought it was confusing, but I can see how it's a great invention.

Ever since I started to follow Best Buy on twitter for the group project, all of the Phillies posts are getting drowned out, Best buy posts stuff like every hour. Anyway. The Phillies have been mainly talking about three things. First, they recap every days game, who pitched, who did what, any big plays. Second they have been talking about a few players, Joe Blanton and Brad Lidge and their rehab in Reading and Lehigh Valley. They have also been talking about off field things, like Jamie Moyer helping kids in Haiti, and talks with younger players.

For this Social Media Blog, I just wanted to say how awesome it was what Dominos did with YouTube. Using Youtube to promote your business is smart, and thats one thing, but going out of your way to single out and satisfy a customer so everyone can see is another thing, and it is a great marketing scheme. Free advertising, happy customers, give yourself a good name. However as seen in the other Dominos video, Youtube can hurt you too, if something leaks that isn't suppose to, it can put your franchise under fire.

It started, finally... FINALLY. Game one was against the nationals. Halladay pitched, made his first debut. The Doc. He pitched a gem. It was 11-1, Ryan Howard had a homer, and Placido Polanco had a grand slam. The funny thing about this week is everything I talked about has been posted on Twitter, but I don't need Twitter to fill me in this week. I've been all Phillies all week. Game three is tonight
