iLovetoPlay.com In Their Own Words
“Sports participants, in virtually all sports, at all skill levels, and around the world, have long suffered from a lack of much needed connectivity with other participants when organizing sports activities. Anyone even remotely involved in sports knows how often people need to find and collaborate with others in order to organize activities in their sport…
iLovetoPlay.com™ is here to effectively solve all of these problems by providing everyone in the sports community with a place to connect with one another. This service is a little bit like the bulletin board that you would find at your local gym or sports center, where people post messages with descriptions of who they are and what they are looking for, but infinitely more powerful, with much wider reach and exposure, extensive sports coverage and searching capabilities, and the full force of the web behind it.”
Why iLovetoPlay.com It Might Be A Killer
iLovetoPlay offers a solid service for sports enthusiasts. It couples both offline and online social networking, which is more and more common, as users want to be able to extend their networks into their actual every day lives.
Some Questions About iLovetoPlay.com
Like other new networks, iLovetoPlay will have to struggle to get its numbers up. While sports are popular, this site may be too specific to garner a huge audience. Sports players already have many different ways of finding team mates, without using iLovetoPlay. Features could be expanded to include more interaction, comments, discussions, etc.
