I found this interesting article that explains a new site that was created to help sports fans follow their favorite athlete or team much easier. David Katz first created a website called SportsFanLive.com in 2008 which was an alternative site to use instead of ESPN.com and SI.com. More Recently David Katz has created a site which branches off of Twitter.com and holds all of your favorite athletes and organizations tweets all in one place. This new site is called SportsTweets.com, and Katz stated that this is the modern day chat room. The company’s goal as a social media company is tapping into the fans experience especially because social networks around bigger sports is lacking. The title of this article is “Twitter Gets Drafted: Sports Site Aggregates Feeds From Avid Fan Base” by Mike Shields and is published in MediaWeek.
