The end of the football forum ?

[bullit]

With Twitter and Facebook etc...Death notice sent out for chat on soccer fora? Or can it survive?

Personally I don't feel the target audiences of fora and mainstream social media overlap as much as you'd think. A forum is very specially focused (the reason I come here!) whereas football will only ever be a subsection of a Facebook / Twitter feed. While niche interests exist, their fora should persist.

What he said.

I don't see the likes of Facebook and Twitter taking over from a specialised forum. If it did, I couldn't see myself getting into it in the same way.

Twitter and Facebook are grand for quick updates on games but forums are needed for better discussion.

Much easier to wind people up on twitter.

Much bigger pay off here though so worth the effort
