Were you watching the NBA playoffs? Or following the chatter on Twitter?

Nike got social media savvy during the NBA playoffs this
year with a social media data visualization tool. Nike's
Basketball webpage not only displayed a live twitter feed it also showed
photos of Nike-sponsored players. How could you tell which player was being
talked about most on Twitter? The app displayed larger photos of the players
who were receiving the most tweets per hour. Dirk Nowitzki lead the Twitter
chatter, receiving a remarkable 547 tweets per hour. Nike also incorporated another social media
aspect to the website; you could Facebook "like" your favorite Nike sneakers
that were worn during the NBA playoffs.

Do you think the new way to enjoy a sports game is with your iPad in your lap, your flatscreen TV tuned to the game, and your smart phone in your hand?
