Countdown
Posted: April 14th, 2009 | Author: Ty | Filed under: Site launch | Comments
The site launch is tomorrow, and it is the result of the talented team work of Mike, Michael, Sangraal, Doug and Babu.
We will roll out additional features, like, oh, say, friending/following in the near future, along with photos, European Football, NASCAR and Formula One. (And then college sports, for all of you competitive Div. I people.)
If you don’t get an invite code tomorrow, make sure to sign up at Fire-Exit and/or follow us on Twitter.
Three days before launch . . .
Posted: April 12th, 2009 | Author: Ty | Filed under: Uncategorized | CommentsAnd things are coming together nicely. We have rethought the home page, of course, and I hope that we can get the new version up before the kimono is opened/sheets come off/doors are opened/fall TV season starts.
We are aggregating over 10,000 different entities an each of those entities are inter-related within a domain.
We look forward to your feedback during the private alpha period, and you can sign up for the alpha at FanFeedr (which redirects to Fire-Exit.)
