Anyone else a bit puzzled by the use of Facebook to provide match updates?
it has just filled my facebook timeline with stuff from the last match even days later.
It also obscures actual club announcements for some reason for me, all i can see is Reds 3-1 down at radcliffe have a throw or something.
Considering we have an actual live scoreboard service and these post to twitter for the key points is this adding any value? is there 2 volunteers doing basically the same job? What gap is it actually filling? or what is it trying to drive?
Surely communications is all about chosing an appropriate channel? Facebook works more like a website for information and you want to post your important news articles (Less is more kind of approach for max impact), where as Twitter is better suited for short text strings like match updates.
I basically cannot see the wood for the trees with the sheer number of facebook posts that happen when its used for this purpose.
Edit - this is not to dump on anyone at the club for providing this if there is a genuine need, this is just my honest observation
- Also i could still see the club announcements on Instagram as i have both so i didnt actually miss anything but not everyone has instagram
