Sorry but as I said on twitter, if you're going to ask me to sign up to tag myself, then I'll keep my data to myself.

waited for 2 mins to see whats the real time component here and still not able figure out.

    a couple of more users signing up and you will see the magic happen. The positions of teams will keep switching, points increase and markers appear in real time.

      What technologies are you using on the backend for this? Nice look and feel for the UI btw. Should try Meteor for the front-end sometime.

Interesting coming soon page. Would have been great if the signup window had less fields to fill in.

Cool UI. You guys should probably mention why I need to sign up. Apart from reserving a username :)

  • anandsatyanOP 11 years ago

    Thanks kvprashant, we plan to build a lot of engagement modules around this. You should get an email from us sometime next week with updates.

    You seem to be an ardent football fan. We should have a discussion soon about what you would like to see in a sports app thats missing now. Any leads?

So what's the point here? To find other fans of my favorite club so we can meet up?

  • anandsatyanOP 11 years ago

    This is similar to the Represent.la project for startups, except for Football fans. You can deduce a lot of interesting things. Which team is popular in which city and country, who is the nearest fan to you, spotting friends nearby, favorite hangouts for each team's supporters. Can also be extended to fan club meetups, cheers during the match etc.

      So I posted my location, but there's nothing beyond that I guess? If this is an MVP, what are you trying to find out from this experiment?

      • imdsm 11 years ago

        This is a system without data, and data collection isn't going to work because they want you to sign up.

          Agree, asking for a sign up is a strenuous process.But this looked interesting to me and i signed up . They have my location and team preference, Enough data for them to start with I guess.
