@Rhodes_J89 @ASRomaEN That’s a touch of class James. Hope you’re well mate!

Very proud to see my dad doing his part to facilitate collaboration between @UL and @ULHospitals during these times #BetterTogether

[University Of Limerick @UL]

A collaboration between UL & @ULHospitals Group has seen the design and capacity created to manufacture 100,000 face visors for HSE front-line staff. #MidWestTogether

The first batch of visors were delivered to UHL today. They say ‘The Limerick Visor: Front Line Heroes’ on them.

Smart strategic play by @GetReely - seems like only a matter of time before voice enabled video-on-command arrives #eSports #Growth

[REELY @GetReely]

We are actively engaging #esports players who want to capture their best moments without leaving the game. DM us for details on automated #highlights! #automation #content

Wholeheartedly agree with this - looking forward to seeing McIlroy kick-on in the next 10 #Winner

The ‘Fancy Hardware+Subscriptions’ idea referenced is ripe for golf with analytics embedded. Personalised clubs, coaching, content and courses to suit your game with “share and compare” tech enabling the social feel. Manufacturers as partners in the process #Golf

Synergies between Telcos and Big Tech firms is only heading in one direction #Streaming #VOD

[Rich Greenfield, LightShed 🔦 @RichLightShed]

One day, sooner than most think, broadband operators will stop offering their own video packages that make little-to-no money and simply offer third-party services like @YouTubeTV

Most points conceded ever in a test match by the @AllBlacks today and their biggest losing margin ever was equalled. 20 years ago in Aug ‘99 the @qantaswallabies won by 21 and went on to win the 99 RWC #BledisloeCup

Astute youthful recruitment - net return will be positive #LongTerm

Good read on AI transformation programmes #AnalyticsAcademies

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Employees cannot simply learn to work with AI on the job; people may need specialized education programs. https://t.co/Cog35HpGMy

[Andrew Burke @Andrew__Burke]

The backbone of most value propositions founded upon data science capabilities - automation, personalisation and recommendation. In the US converting fans to bettors is the trending fan engagement play for sports content creators and/or distributors #Conversion

[WSC Sports @WSC_Sports]

“When you have more power with #AI and #machinelearning, you can target better and really hit the different bettors and fans with their tendencies and interests to get them content they find interesting and maybe drive more #engagement.”

@British_Airways I I was boarding flight BA2609 from Naples this evening with my girlfriend and she was ill so the pilot wouldn't allow her fly. We have not been able to get through to any BA customer service all evening and you have not responded to the DM. Please advise.

A world where the @NFLPA protects against sports agent notions of law students - the end of all future Jerry Maguire movie streams will finish like the T&C’s of an ad. The role obviously to be played by #DickyFox

[Darren Heitner @heitner]

Sure you want to be an NFL agent? Right now, only 82 agents rep at least 10 NFL players (per @InsideTheLeague). No one makes more than a 3% commission, and many earn less. The margins are slim, the competition is fierce & the investment is huge. This is the reality of the biz.

A good note from Nigel Wray of @Saracens ...the strength of the wolf is the pack! He’s a clear supporter of entrepreneurship and investment in the academy #PeopleFirst https://t.co/IiOHo4albS

The @SloanSportsConf is the benchmark for analytics research in sport. A leading sports analytics practitioner @LukeBornn hangs up his research boots this year. Check out his innovative work on this thread #Quality

[Luke Bornn @LukeBornn]

Decided in the fall that this will be my last year authoring papers at Sloan. As such, this thread is a great (and complete) resource for the 18 papers we’ve authored there since 2014. SSAC has been really good to me and my students — v thankful for doors opened and friends made!

[Andrew Burke @Andrew__Burke]

Quality thread below. Reports today of ~12k software businesses incorporated in the UK in 2018 (up 14%). London tech firms account for 72% of the 2.5bn in venture funding - more than any other city in Europe. Where do you think the widespread demand problems exist @a16z?

[Li Jin @ljin18]

Thread: The best consumer marketplaces end up supply-constrained, because they tap into an incredible amount of demand. For instance, Airbnb, Lyft, and Uber have seemingly infinite demand since the product/market fit is so strong--and this demand puts pressure on supply.

@KieranMaguire @BillRockSport Interested to find out more about this topic - can you direct me towards any good sources please?
