The Paul Monitor #2.5: Taking Over the Internet
By Paul Frommelt
Hey guys, just popping in for a quick minute to discuss some new ways to get content from DigitalSports. This company prides itself on being on the cutting edge when it comes to distributing content — such as photos and videos — to the public. We’ve got a whole host of fine folks working at DigitalSports with ridiculously huge brains that keep us a step ahead of everyone else in the industry.
Being the team player that I am, I wanted to use my very limited skills to help out. I don’t know much, but I know how to use Facebook.
Thus, Prince Wiliam’s DigitalSports Facebok Group was born. Here’s a few things that you will be able to find on the group page.
Recent News: Find out where I’ll be every night. Facebook will be the only place where you’ll be able to find this information.
The Wall: I’ll be posting up to date info on whats going on at DigitalSports.com. Also, you will be able to post your own comments relating to the happenings in Prince William high school sports.
Photos: After every game, I’ll post at least five photos to the groups wall. From there you can tag yourself and friends. Of course, all photos taken from the event will be available at DigitalSports. I’ll post a gallery link with the photos. You can also post your own photos to the page.
Videos: Again, I’ll post a few choice videos on the group. Tag them. Comment on them. Show your friends. Gallery links will take you directly to all the videos on DigitalSports. Post your own videos on the page to share with friends.
But I didn’t want to stop there. No sir, not with my exemplary work ethic.
I also created a Prince William DigitalSports User Account.
You can add this account as a friend and get even more information about DigitalSports. On the page, you’ll find:
Status Updates: See where I’ll be from the comfort of Facebook’s home page using the live feed. Know exactly when stories and videos will be posted to DigitalSports. Also find out scoring updates for games in progress — uploaded from my trusty cell phone.
Messages: Send me suggestions for game coverage, stories ideas, etc. Want me to know about a big game coming up that I should be at? Shoot me a message.
Notes: Using the magic of RSS Feeds (I don’t know what that means either) you’ll be able to see the moment something is added to DigitalSports.com.
Not on Facebook, no problem. I’ve got you covered.
Prince William DigitalSports is also on Twitter. Easy to use, easy to follow.
I’ll be posting story links, score updates and other info right to Twitter. Just like Facebook’s status updates, you’ll get all you need about DigitalSports right on Twitter.
All of these services are free and don’t put anymore cash in my pocket. What they do, however, is further expand DigitalSports’ goal of creating a online community for high school athletes and fans. You know how principals and coaches have “open door” policies? This is my version of an “open internet” policy. My internet is always open.
Okay, that sounds slightly creepy — but you know what I’m saying.
This goes without saying: These services are here to complement the top dog — the flagship site — DigitalSports.com.
