Online poker operators and portals have always been at the forefront of utilising any new online platform to engage and convert new players.
Over the last couple of years the buzz in online marketing has been around social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.
What has been endlessly discussed is how to get a return on the investment of time marketing teams need to spend on these sites in order to make an impact and differentiate from the mass of spammers which often dog our industry.
A few online poker rooms have capitalised on the two biggest social sites Facebook and Twitter tempting users to become followers in order to play in freerolls.
