The idea of “less is more” rings true in Footbo’s case, which focuses on offering an information and interaction hub for everyday football fans, as opposed to cutting-edge functionality and interface design. Footbo provides football-related content in the form of live feeds, line-ups, game schedules and tables from about 70 leagues around the world. A Predictions section allows users to predict the final scores of games. These can be submitted/edited until the kick-off of each match. Users can also grade player performance, thereby electing the “Top 11″ of each league or round. Integrated wiki functionality lets users add and edit content about teams and players. There are already tens of thousands of existing profiles with basic info on teams and players. Game pages feature fan boards and live discussions. The Euro 2008 section leverages these features on a single page for a “one-stop” experience. Footbo is predominantly a European play targeting individual fans, fan clubs, and amateur teams. Footbo’s scope is wider as is evident by the fact that the site is available in English, German and Spanish. Footbo will launch its official Beta in August with a host of new features.http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/16/footbocom-real-football-social-network-kicks-off/
