Now, according to Paidcontent, they have plans to add social networking to the already potent formula of online sports. Says Rafat Ali:
"ESPN is going to add more social networking tools on its sites�.it will unveil as part of ESPN�s Sports Nation property the tools for fans to create profiles, contribute to sports blogs, post opinions and link to favorite articles�John Zaccario, VP-digital media sales and marketing at ESPN, revealed the plans to advertisers at a pre-NBA Draft party in Chelsea.
"ESPN also unveiled its digital plans for 'Monday Night Football,' coined 'Monday Night Surround'�the network would cover the game 'the way ABC covered the Super Bowl � with fleets of trucks and armies of crews.'
