FSB Daily 5/7: SI.com-Watercooler, WSJ, Blurb, FF Mama-to-be
A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.
– Sports Illustrated announced this week that it partnered with game developer Watercooler on a multi-platform fantasy football product. Team management and game connectivity will be available to users via SI.com, Facebook and SI Mobile.
– Nando Di Fino of The Wall Street Journal this week used Yankees middle reliever Alfredo Aceves’ ownership numbers to illustrate differences in the user bases for fantasy games at Yahoo!, ESPN and CBS.
– Andrew Garda, proprietor of ThunderingBlurb.com, contributor to Draftguys.com and Fantasy Sports Channel host, will join the Footballguys.com staff this season.
– As Mother’s Day approaches and threatens to get many of us guys in trouble, FF Librarian Sara Holladay announced on her blog Thursday night that she’s due to have her first child (a son) right around Week 3 of the coming NFL season. This guarantees that she’ll need multiple bye weeks, and a skeptic might wonder if she’s building in an excuse for failing to reprise her Super Bowl trip-winning fantasy play of 2009. Of course, we don’t think that way here at FSB.com, so we’ll just say congratulations and good luck.
