Welcome to a brand-new and highly experimental feature on OddAlerts.
Chat.
It might be that this falls flat on its face, but it was one of those ideas that takes over your mind and I was unable to leave it alone until something was live on the site. I had the idea on Tuesday after scheduling some content on Twitter and here we are on Friday morning with a working prototype.
I was looking to schedule some tweets on Raheem Sterling and his potential move to Chelsea. I wanted to get thoughts and opinions from those we have following on Twitter, but managing those replies is hard. So why not create a way to see what the community feels about a certain topic?
Having a place on OddAlerts dedicated to contextual football topics is great, and will allow me (or the community) to ask questions that can then live on as evergreen bits of content. I might start the /chat by talking about possible transfers and player performance but ultimately those “topics” could be about anything. We could be previewing a fixture, giving our thoughts on a certain market, or discussing a feature on OddAlerts.
I’m really excited to see where this goes… But for now, I must get back to working on the Smart Alerts!
