IPLT20.com has launched a social network for fans on its site here. The community for fans called as Fan Voice already seems to be a success with over 40000 members registered and over 360 users online on chat at the time of writing this blog. The platform seems to be powered by Ning.com the white branded social networking solutions provider. Inorder to build engagement on the site IPLT20 is running the ‘Best Blogger of the Day’ contest which will be handpicked across all the bloggers on the site after which the name and photo of the winner will be aired on television and featured on the homepage of the site.
IPL Community
As we had blogged earlier it was Global cricket ventures which was assigned by IPL and BCCI to manage and monetize the IPLT20 website. This move to launch a community is a way to build stickiness onto the portal. Also constant Tv tickers while the matches are on are making sure that the site is recieving immense traction.
IPLT20 Chat
Over the course of the IPL one can safely assume that the number of registered users on this community would easily cross 1 lakh and would probably be inching towards half a million. This makes this community probably one of the hottest properties as each year would scale the IPL to new level and increase the activity within this community. Till now no cricket community has scaled in India. Yes there have been portals like cricinfo and cricketnext which have done well but social networking around cricket has failed till now and this community could just be the first one to succeed.
The glamour of film stars here, the titillation of bouncy cheer girls there, even if over-draped, and the adrenalin of star owners flaunting their team ownerships: it’s like sitting in a pub watching models on a mute, flat screen TV, with music blaring from another source. It’s the stuff of a speeding age with fleeting and fragmented experiences.
