Corporate Social Media Case Study: Sony Ericsson

Sony Ericsson recently launched their Twitter Cup, an event they’re calling a mashup of the world’s greatest football tournament and Twitter. Their tournament pulls conversations from Twitter related to the real World Cup Tournament and organizes them by country.
