Social Technological Ladder

On the Social Technological Ladder I would be a Conversationalist. I have a more than decent understanding of the majority of social media and technology outlets. I also have accounts for a lot of social media sites. I am moderatly active on all of my accounts and highly active on certain ones such as Twitter, the one I use the most. I am almost always connected to social tech through my iPhone which is always on me so I never fall behind. I am making attempts to change my position on the ladder to more of a Creator by posting more often on all of my accounts.

My Favorite Running Site

For me, the best media site for cross country and track is http://www.flotrack.org/. Their coverage of our sport is unmatched, and they continue to develope their level of coverage with the introduction of Flotrack Pro. When it comes to coverage and promotion on social media, Flotrack is awesome! I encourage everyone to go check out their Twitter page https://twitter.com/Flotrack. Here the provide you with live updates of the biggest track and cross country meets across the globe, recaps and previews of meets, interviews with the bigest athletes in the sport, and images and videos to go along  with it all.

Flotrack is also quite active on Instagram (https://instagram.com/flotrack_trackisback) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/#!/flotrack?hc_location=stream). They encourage followers to send them running related photos to post on their pages if they are deemed good enough which becomes very interactive. They have days of the week dedicated to certain activities such as "Trail Running Tuesday" which is dedicated to trail running, and "Workout Wednesday" for the harder workouts of the week. Their Facebook page is quite similar to their Twitter page in that they share links to articles, photos, interviews ,etc.

So for all you runners out there, competitive or recreational, I'd recomend you check out Flotrack for the latest and greatest information on the sports of cross country and track.
