Ultimate Football Network – Video Interview
by Allen Stern on September 10th, 2008
As I browsed the tc50 demo pit, I was stopped by what I believe is a huge NY Giants football fan, Jonathan Joseph. Jonathan is the founder and CEO of the Ultimate Football Network. Jonathan explained that the fantasy football market is estimated at $2 billion annually.
The Ultimate Football Network service is basically an aggregator of content from around the Web that’s searchable and sortable. You can create your team on UFN and then monitor the news related to the players on your fantasy football team. I could see this system working for other types of content outside of fantasy football.
Here’s Jonathan explaining how the service works:
Note: Jonathan is actually a Redskins fan, but I will do my best to convert him.
Allen,
That’s a subtle yet effective cheap shot! Hail to the Redskins! (Although after last week it’s tough to boast)
look i gotta do what i gotta do – we need more fans!
Oh I know. I’m sure you know how you’d react if someone labeled you a Skins fan! Made me shudder for a minute! :-)
