AT&T did a similar idea for the NCAA tournament: http://titletweets.com/

They've dropped it for some reason, but the idea has legs.

Regarding your site:

- The graphic design needs a lot of work, but the functionality is there

- The title, live sports streaming on Twitter, isn't really accurate. People will expect video

- You've got to get tweetthegame.com or choose a new URL. Can't use an URL that requires an explanation, e.g. "There's only one t between 'tweet' and 'the', so t-w-e-e-t-h-e-g-a-m-e-.com"

Rule of thumb: if you can't say it on the radio without explaining it, get a new URL.

Thumbs up


Very true - I heard a Radio DJ try to say "tumblr.com" on the air, and it took him several minutes to get it across correctly.


thanks. I didn't know about the AT&T site. it's very similar, and agreed- it could definitely use some design help.
