36ers communications are woeful

I wouldn't read too much about companies blocking people who tweet comments they don't like. @AFL have blocked me after I questioned them about the fairness of their draw (Ouch! obvious sore point there!) and @CadburyAU blocked me after I questioned them whether they thought the cost of their halal certification was worth it, improved food safety standards, or whether a simple statement to say their products didn't contain hareem products was a more cost effective way of making an inclusive statement. (That block got me so angry I nearly blew my top!)

There's actually some pretty funny comebacks some companies have tweeted back to those fans/consumers who tweet stuff like "Hey Sixers, you suck balls"

Oscar on 993. Only his jersey number away from the 1 O O O Come on punters, surely there are se7en of you on IG not following him yet

@Isaac, re Oscar's IG Feed, some great photos there, none better than the backyard pool table and of course the sponsor's restaurant. We need to get the Big O, over the big one O O O, so with 986 followers at the moment, those of you on Instagram not following Oscar, let's push him to 1,000 followers.

As you say, feed the players some quality photos and if the club sets up photo opportunities as well, then running an IG account is easier than losing money in the Chinese stock market.

Not sure who the biggest Sixers sponsor is at the moment. Imagine the Sixers crew down at Vili's munching on a chilli dog, or out in the paddocks trying to milk cows for Golden North Ice cream. That's the sort of stuff that fills the social media pages.

Get the sponsors on board with the social media plan as well. Without sponsors being advertised and promoted, there's no point them shovelling money in, if they can't get promoted and get nothing in return.

You guys are crazy. Adelaide just tweeted!

Ha Ha Tom was just coming here to post that exact thing. Pretty sad your own players back this opinion publicly, especially a fan favourite.

Thanks PlaymakerMO. I was just about to go check that!

Is Dean Parker still the General Manager?
