Not that this comes as a surprise, but the Kentucky Derby is in on the social media game. We're seeing pretty much every major event become more engaging with the general public. Not unlike the NFL Draft, there are plenty of ways to get involved with the Kentucky Derby online as well.
The Derby has a section of its Derby Connect that offers a suite of online tools to "keep you in the action every step of the way." These include a YouTube channel, a Facebook Page, the Derby Universe on Netvibes, and Derby widgets. The widgets are still being worked on according to the site though. They better hurry up if they want them ready for this year.
The Derby has over 30,000 fans on Facebook. YouTube Channel, which has actually been in existence since 2006 features 56 videos for those who can't get enough of the Derby. One particular video shows you how to make your Mint Julep, a traditional Kentucky Derby drink.
Of course, the Derby has its own Twitter account as well. Follow username Twinspires
