Lauzon meets his fans daily through interaction on Twitter, Facebook, and his personal website. It’s actually a business he devotes a lot of his free time too as well.
It’s pretty cool. I’m a computer science major, so I’m a huge nerd and I understood all the importance of all the social networking stuff years ago, Lauzon said in an interview with MMAWeekly Radio.
I’m reading about it all the time. I put at least a couple of hours in every single day working on that kind of stuff. I’m getting an iPhone app made, Facebook, Twitter, everything, so it’s definitely cool to be ahead of the curve on all that stuff.
Now with social media push in full swing, Lauzon’s head start has given him over 30,000 followers on Twitter and nearly 17,000 fans on his Facebook fan page.
It’s definitely a huge advantage to have so much experience in doing all the social networking for this particular stuff, said Lauzon. Just being a computer science major, I understand a lot of the technology all behind it and how it works, and the strength of each, and how you should use each. It’s good stuff.
