Fishnet NewMedia Launches AboutTeams.com
Custom League Management Application Retooled as Online Web Resource for Sports Teams
Sagamore Beach, MA July 3, 2003 - Sports league management has been simplified! After fans witness the final crack of the bat, swish of the net, and glory of the touchdown dance, sports teams can keep the momentum alive by posting scores, stats, and more online at AboutTeams.com.
AboutTeams.com is a production of Fishnet NewMedia, an expert in custom Web software development. The Web site evolved from a separate Web site and league management application the company developed pro bono for the Duxbury Youth Baseball League with long time collaborator Devine & Pearson Communications.
Determined to make the application they were building available to other leagues, Fishnet NewMedia applied reusable programming techniques so that other sports organizations would be able to take advantage of this practical and useful online tool. AboutTeams.com is now being introduced to sports teams everywhere for the first time.
"The AboutTeams.com story is elegantly simple", said Fishnet NewMedia's president, Donna Donovan. "We transformed an application that meets the custom requirements of a specific client into an online resource that dynamically provides those features to the enormous Web audience of similar organizations. We can make AboutTeams.com available for the cost of hosting because the application is self-contained and adding a new league requires very little human intervention. We see this powerful model transforming the Web from a vast sea of information into a powerful utility that we all plug into to get things done."
