I’m back, the best way to create a social network on an individual level is to use wordpress with a few plug ins. If you want to create a site similar to facebook, I would highly recommend the following,

Ning
Elgg
Pligg
Dolphin
Boonex Dolphin

As for protecting your brand, I would strongly suggest you buy all the extensions for your brand, com. net. org. to eliminate others stealing your traffic. If you don’t use them, set them up as redirects.

Thanks for spreading the word about my site, it means a lot to me.

Good luck with your branding and site, it looks very clean and sharp. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Regards Thomas

Gday, web2.0 properties are the best way to spread the word about your site or any individual player. Twitter is great for quick announcements and is a great avenue of traffic. I’ve personally invested a lot of time time in Digg, Propeller, Mixx, Stumbleupon and Delicious. However,if you’re looking to create your own brand and create your own facebook or social network, i’d highly recommend a software called……. sorry I have to look it up and come back to this answer. One second please.

Hi Thomas. Am enjoying your blog and passing it on to people at our club. I’m wondering if you’ve ever come across a posting/information about promotional strategies for up and coming players. I’m wondering who (if anyone) is harnessing the tools and potential offered by Web 2.0 to both protect and enhance their future ‘brand’?

At my club I’ve encountered some resistance when I talk about how our club should be using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube (and even Flickr) as ways to communicate with our members and players. However I must say all the younger payers (and some more web-savvy parents/coaches) ‘get it’ immediately (and I’ve just gone ahead and done it to be honest!).

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about how to harness that on an inidividual level and thought you may know of someone writing about this specifically for football (or any other sport really). I’ve seen many articles for protecting business brands (eg brandjacking) – maybe the same principles apply?? There is a good article in Mashable (http://mashable.com/2009/04/21/protecting-online-identity/) but I’d be keen to hear what you think from yor experience.

Cheers!
