We have 10,000+ watching streams on a daily basis. For the show I run, State of the Game, we easily break 10,000 every Tuesday at 10:30 CDT. If it only takes 1300 tweets (granted I know this was in the middle of the night) then what in the world are people doing when we as casters say "go tweet about the GSL / MLG / IPL / NASL / whatever"? Quoting from the article: and it’s mainly because of the % increase in tweets This means that it only took 1300 tweets because the average amount of tweets was so low in the first place. If 1300 tweets gets the new "average" than it will be way harder to get trending again. Meaning that this will be most likely a one-time thing. | ||

There was a post that discussed this on Teamliquid already. The original article stated: We have 10,000+ watching streams on a daily basis.

I'm the one who wrote the original article regarding GSL Trending and how Trending on Twitter works, and I work with this kind of stuff I think this is an interesting idea but there are some stuff you have to remember here:
If you want to know more please feel free to ask. I have the tools for stats and can answer questions regarding how Twitter Trending works. | ||

Cool experiment. I'll look out for the results. I read the article on Twitter trending, and it seems it's down to how much increase in use a hashtag gets. I've just looked up #esports on Twitter and found about 22 in the last hour. If #esports is something which gets steady use, it might be worth considering a different tag. | ||

JP said he doesn't want a steady use for #ESPORTS, this is a test to see if we could do other things in the future. | ||

Instead of spending the time registering and signing up for twitter, figuring out what to do, and broadcasting your pointless 140 character "tweet" out to the world that no-one will even read because you have no followers (partly because you're a new member, partly because no-one cares what you say), why not spend that time doing something USEFUL for e-sports like telling a new person about why the game is so great. Or hell, just go play a game of starcraft. There's no need to artificially inflate the pointless social media chirruping - just go and help grow ESPORTS! The social shit that inevitably and unavoidably surrounds everything nowadays will grow appropriately of its own accord anyway. EDIT: I fear I am turning into a grumpy old man | ||

Neither is the new person, sponsorship is everything in eSports. The reason people like to report numbers is so that sponsors can look at those numbers and then they can advertise to those people. | ||

I would have thought maintaining a large number of people actually playing the game would be useful. | ||

I don't play SC2, all the people I watch SC2 with have never played. Playing video games isn't necessary for eSports, same with Sports. | ||
