Athletes specifically. I've got PrepsX.com sitting around (Preps = Preps Athletes) and I want to put it to good use, so, as always, I'll create a thread on DP for development help. My last thread was very helpful and I thank everyone who chimed in. Basically I'm thinking of a small website and forum or possibly a social networking site. The downside of a full scale social networking site is the price & the need for it to be very active. I think a website which incorporates both (e.g. a forum with a lot of social networking features, custom made) would be a nice solution. Anyone who is an athlete, your opinion would mean a ton to me. What do you think about a site like this?
If you have money to promote it then you can try this. http://www.takkle.com/ is one of the big sport social networks! There is also a new one: http://mystack.stack.com/
I know there are big ones (e.g. takkle, backed by SI & ESPN), but I feel I can take down the "big dogs" with a smaller, tighter community. To boot, it's a very undersaturated market.
