FanIQ, According to About.com Web Trends

Besides detailed, but easy-to-understand articles on topics such as "Enterprise 2.0", "Mobile 2.0", "Social Bookmarking", "Social Networking", "Web 2.0", "Web Mashups" and others, About[dot]com Web Trends publishes reviews of the rising stars as well as new features of the giants of the world of web.

About[dot]com Web Trends has also reviewed FanIQ, the most interactive sports website in the world with 11,900,503 registered users (that's close to 12 million). On FanIQ, sports fans compete to prove their knowledge of the world of sports, particularly their favorite sports, broadcast their previews, reviews, and/or views on sports news and hearsays, and unite with like-minded sports fans to cheer for their common favorite sports team or sportsperson and even root against their rivals. That last one is probably the reason About[dot]com Web Trends' FanIQ review starts with the words "FanIQ is a website by sports nuts for sports nuts."

In fact, the bottom line that About Web Trends gives about FanIQ declares FanIQ "a good site for sports nuts". The bottom line about FanIQ towards the end says, "if you are really into sports and love to engage in trivia contests with other fans, it is the site for you."

Then there are pros and a con of FanIQmentioned on the webpage of About Web Trends. Pros of FanIQ, as mentioned on the page, include:

·Quick access to blog entries and videos about favorite teams of FanIQ users

·Social networking aimed at sports nuts

·Competition among FanIQ users via quizzes and trivia that show users' sports IQ or 'faniq'

The single con that the page mentions is that in the opinion of the reviewer, the website can be confusing. Later, in the main review text it elaborates on it saying, (because) "It's 'packed', which is to say that FanIQ is trying to do a lot in a very small space. For example, the profile page contains the following windows: Account Information, My Comments, My Prediction Results, My Videos, My Polls Created, My Mobile Scorecard, Awards Head to Head vs. Friends, My Trophy Case, My Awards and Accolades, My Accolades to Other Fans, My Prediction Stats, and My Clubhouse.

So, you can see how it can be a little crowded. But, for a sports nut, it might be worth taking the time to get used to these packed pages."
