The Other Super Bowl: Twitter vs. Facebook

Levi Sumagaysay
Siliconvalley.com's interesting reporter Levi Sumagaysay recently wrote about the "other" Super Bowl. This contest involves social media, with the world championship of the"Second Screen" at stake. The opposing squads are none other than Twitter and Facebook. Each has commanded an enormous number of participants during prior Super Bowls; this year will not be an exception to this trend. The two firms collect vast amounts of data during the contest, much of which is as thoughtful as "Whazzup." Selling into that revealing comment would challenge Don Draper, or, more likely, drive him to a pitcher of martinis.

This year's Super Bowl happens to correspond with Chinese New Year. That gives me an excuse to enjoy Chinese food and beer. So, during the "big game," I'll raise my glass to the Year of the Horse, dig into some fried dumplings, and root for the Seattle Seahawks. Gam Bei Fat Choy!
