DAVID CHANCOGNE

David is the CTO of Traackr, Inc. a local Boston start-up that helps Marketing and PR companies navigate the social web and find the most influencial users on social networks. Based on our experience at Traackr, we built HoodleNow.com where Twitter users can share what's happening locally in their neighborhood (we cover places like Harvard Sq., Central Sq. ...etc.). Being also a RedSox fan since my first visit to Boston in 89 I thought it would be a good idea to use HoodleNow to create RedSoxNow (http://twitter.com/RedSoxNow) and CelticsNow(http://twitter.com/CelticsNow). These 2 feeds are all about using the power of social media in general and Twitter in particular to give a voice to the fans so they can share it with other fans. On both feeds we retweet not just news about the team or the game but also what the fans are saying. Before, during and after the game. It's a great way to get a pulse of what people are thinking. Come join the voice of the crowd!
