Our company designs banking software. As a business analyst responsible for the non-technical design of our products (i.e. - how they look, what they do, what goes where on which screen, etc.) fantasy football provides me a wealth of design ideas from some of the hottest, freshest sites on the web. <br /> <br />I've often said to co-workers, "If we could ever build a product that was half as cool as the CBS Sportline fantasy football site, then we'd have something!" <br /> <br />I think you need to add a chapter 28 that deals with the non-networking advantages of FFL, mainly the chance to see how beautifully some companies have been able to integrate high-traffic, user-intense applications that also act as a front end for vast amounts of flexible data. <br /> <br />The advantage of being an FFL geek isn't just limited to the schmoozing opportunities it opens for you, it also gives those in the software business a source of development ideas that will make their products better!! tag:blog.fantasykick.com,2006-05-22:42177 Mimi 2006-05-22T20:12:21Z 2006-05-22T20:12:21Z This is the best blog I've ever visited; bearing in mind, of course that the only other blog I've ever visited is entitled "The Unregulated Female" and is authored by a far-too-introspective ex-co-worker of mine who currently is in the seminary.
