Twitter, twitter, everywhere. There are some people who do not care. But, for those that do and enjoy underwater hockey, twitter is a place to get their word out about the sport.Recently I produced a video about underwater hockey at the Leisure Square Pool, http://bit.ly/IXD16. Part of my workflow is to post the link on Twitter and facebook, both personally and through @Vero_News. I noticed one day that it was re-tweeted, or forwarded to other’s following @hockeysub. My initial thought was, “great, someone local has picked it up and is sharing it.” Not so. I checked their bio and they are based in Paris, France. I told my managing editor this and he shared with me the analytics of the site. Apparently we have been viewed in Belgium, Canada, Argentina, Australia, Europe, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. So the next time (just a personal note) that you think putting something on the Web won’t be seen by anyone, just remember this blog post. Because in the beginning I thought that, after I bought an underwater digital camera – it was kismet when I saw the underwater hockey flyer – I had no idea it would be viewed in Paris.
