- As part of SkipBayless launching his Facebook Timeline, ESPN’s First Take featured it in a big way by integrating it into the show experience. During a segment referencing the NBA Finals, the host referenced Skip’s predictions and pointed to his new Timeline. Viewers were encouraged to go to his Timeline to find out what his predictions were, which he posted there in advance. This offered viewers additional incentive to subscribe to Skip Bayless on Facebook.The on-air example not only referenced his Timeline, but also highlighted its key features, referencing that viewers can go back in time to see key moments in Skip’s career and old photos.The on-air mention also featured a direct link for his Timeline, as well as a quick description of why to subscribe to Skip on Facebook: “Follow skip daily throughout the NBA Finals”.
