Should Sports Teams Move to Google+?

So I've blogged about Facebook and Twitter, but there is a huge elephant in the room that can't be ignored: Google+.

No sports teams have moved onto Google+ yet, but the shift will happen soon. Google+ is putting into motion "Entities" which are basically brand profiles onto Google+. Google+ has exploded in its initial launch, but will not get any traction until they can make these Entities pages. But, watch out Facebook, once this gets going, you know Sports Teams will be all over that. The elephant is about to be released.

The Next Twitter Revolution: Connect with Jets

The NY Jets have launched Connect with Jets that allows fans to connect to all Jets players including Mark Sanchez, Derrell Revis, and the NY Jets official Twitter account.

With just one click, you can immediately get all the Twitter accounts for a team. Good money says all NFL teams with have this technology by the end of the season. Just brillant social media marketing.

Gathering the Clouds

Gathering the Clouds is a weekly entry that scours the web bringing together the most important links on sports and social media.

• TED Talks are incredible videos that I have been exposed to while a Sports MBA candidate at George Washington University. Here is a video from TED by Evan Williams, co-founder of Twitter. Since Twitter is so intergral in sports, I thought I would share this video. Great blurb on Shaq, too.
  
  
• Want to know the Top 25 most influential Twitter accounts for the NBA? Or NHL? Or NFL? Or MLB? (Actaully you can use it to follow any topic or location). It's all on wefollow. This makes stalking so much more efficient. 
• Article on the 10 best apps for the football season on mashable. Now I just HAVE to get the air horn app, if for no other reason than to drown out my Cowboy fan roommates. 
• Another mashable article, but this one on MLB using digital media to innovate itself. 
• If you haven't heard (and believe me, you haven't), London 2012 has a contest that pits countries against one another to see who has the most active social media base. Tweet now, and they'll throw in your own create-a-mascot feature!
