Spanatix.com, simply described, "is a social platform for sports fans to engage and connect online" and that's actually the "25 words or less" pitch line used by its co-founder, Marlon Sullivan. In the video above, I talked with Mr. Sullivan and he gave a demonstration of how Spanatix.com work.
Let's just say that if you play it, you'd better know your sports info stuff.
Spanatix.com consists of two parts in its online space: a social network designed such that if you pick your favorite team or player, you can see what has been written and add to the conversation, and a unique fanometer that's coolly addictive.
With the fanometer, you can gain points for what you know about your team. You can pick a game and if you guess the correct winner you gain points. You can challenge friends in "one-on-one" competition, or go into what's called a "pool" challenge.
It's a really great social network game, that makes a game out of watching a sports event.
What it needs is to add another set of competitors: owners versus players.
Considering that both the NFL and the NBA are in the middle of lockouts, that addition would make Spanatix.com a nuclear hit.
Stay tuned.
