A roundup of recent posts on the FSB News page.

– Fantasy Joe is among the online communities recently launched by USA Today. Moderators Matt Pitzer and Pete O’Brien moderate, post content and promise to address reader questions.

– Advanced Sports Media has launched two ways to get its Draft Analyzer on your iPhone. The free Cheat Sheet app provides player rankings and offers pick recommendations. The $4.99 Draft Analyzer Pro — Mock Draft lets you simulate a whole draft from your handheld with malleable league sizes, draft positions and competition levels.

– Those who like to play in NFL survivor pools might find this fantasy game from FantasySportsMadness.com interesting: No player can be used more than once during the season. It should be easy to find a receiver of value each week, but selecting quarterbacks will take some forethought.

A roundup of recent posts on the FSB News page.

– Fantazzle this week launched baseball, golf and racing games to go with the football and basketball contests it ran for the first time in 2008.

– Sporting News and Zumobi have combined to create an application for iPhone and iPod Touch users that provides detailed SN content, including stats and player news.

– OK, that headline might be a little overly dramatic. The fact is that Fantasy CPR will join the lineup on BlogTalkRadio’s Fantasy Sports Channel beginning this Saturday.

– Unless you’re among the Major League Soccer faithful, you probably don’t know Taylor Twellman. He believes he can hang with you in fantasy baseball, though.

– FantasySmackTalk.com launched what it calls a “customer-driven fantasy sports advice website” earlier this week. The site appears to be heavy on videos, and the founders say they will focus on facilitating direct communication between its “experts” and users.

– For the first time in its existence, Advanced Sports Media’s Draft Analyzer is available as a Web application (no download). The product has been included in subscriptions to ESPN Insider and Fanball’s premium Owner’s Edge package.

Here are all of the finalists for the Fantasy Sports Trade Association’s 2008 Industry Recognition Awards. Only FSTA members are eligible to win, and the membership selects the winners (in bold below) from the final candidates.
