The @NFL’s ultimate prize is up for grabs this Sunday when the Denver @Broncos and Carolina @Panthers meet for what should be a thrilling Super Bowl. No matter where you are, consider Twitter, Vine, and Periscope your home for all things #SB50.
Join and follow the #SB50 conversation
The best and fastest way to join the live Super Bowl conversation and connect directly with the teams and fellow fans is to Tweet with, and search for, #SB50.
To help bring #SB50 Tweets to life, Twitter and the NFL have partnered on special #SB50 emojis. Fans can Tweet with these hashtags (#SB50, #Broncos, #KeepPounding) to bring color to their Super Bowl Tweets:
Moments, Vine, and Periscope
Worried you’ll miss some of the most important #SB50 Tweets? Don’t be! Check out Twitter Moments by clicking the lightning bolt tab. From now through the game, there will be a temporary Super Bowl tab in Moments, full of all the great content and stories unfolding during and around the game.
You can also tune into Vine on game day via their Super Bowl channel. Fans will see Vines from the field and behind the scenes, as well as posts from Viners and fans around the world. Tag your Vines with #SB50 and/or #superbowl and you might see them included in this experience.
Periscope is getting in the game as well, by enabling popular hashtags that trigger a flurry of SB50-themed custom hearts. They’ll float to the top of the screen alongside the traditional Periscope hearts, and are triggered when you include any of these hashtags in the title of the broadcast: #SB50, #SuperBowl, #Broncos, and #KeepPounding.
Follow the Panthers
Panthers fans should follow @Panthers and Tweet with #KeepPounding. You can find Carolina players on Twitter — like @CameronNewton, @gregolsen88, and @Harp41 — on this Twitter list.
