The birth of the Twansfer – Twitter Soccer Scouting
Posted on 25. Jun, 2011 by Robert Steers in Social Media
“A few people are calling it the first ‘twansfer‘,” Yeovil Town manager Terry Skiverton says. Skiverton approached fans on the social networking site and asked them to send him suggestions on possible targets. There were a few names thrown around, but Skiverton says his Twitter followers should take credit for the signing of striker Kieran Agard.
He says that he will be retweeting those followers that suggested the young striker.
Why not throw the net out wide and conduct a social networking experiment?
