Another interesting benefit of fantasy football at the office:

Add this to the Fantasy Kick debate: In my business, fantasy football does more than help me with my networking skills. 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.

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!"

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.

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!!

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.
