     It is not ALL bad for Terry – at least from a channel perspective.
                                                                                     YOU TUBE          18%            22%         60%
     If you are looking for the upside, blogs and forums are the least negative
     channels. These are also the channels where points are argued and
     thought out and opinions are made. On balance , they are sharing
     balanced opinions and neutral views rather than assassinating Terry’s         SENTIMENT BY CHANNEL
     character. The real bloggers have left that to the tweeters.

     Although Twitter and other microblogs account for over two thirds of posts
     and sentiment is negative, twitter posts are of the moment, short lived and
     as you will see later, can shift quickly and dramatically.

     Video may not a major channel but as anyone who has spent any time on
     the football terraces will know, football fan’s chanting can be very cruel
     indeed. Their user generated videos are no more merciful. The most
     viewed John Terry You Tube video is a parody of Michael Jackson’s Beat It,
     to the refrain of He Cheated. To date, it has received over 46,000 views
     since its first posting on Jan 30th.
