I Will Remember Where I Was

Last night as I watched the Bills Jets on my phone live streamed on Twitter, it was clearly one of those “ I remember where I was when” moments, matched by the first time I was able to register a premium domain name in 1995, purchase a book from Amazon in 1996, or send my first instant message on ICQ. All the talk of “convergence” in the late 1990's-early 2000’s came to bear.

Thank You Twitter. Tonight you showed us the Future and the future is live stream+fans social+fans live stream as one .

Others have live streaming and social but the intersection of live streaming and user social interaction and community for sports arrived on September 15th, 2016.

With our acquisition of IOS/Android sports social and live streaming App Fancred, www.Fancred.com, we are positioned and armed with a live streaming social hybrid platform for sports. The company that strategically aligns with Fancred will have a ready to go answer to Twitter. The closest analogy I can make is when CBS Sportsline (now CBS Sports) acquired Commissioner in 1999, and became the first major media company to offer online fantasy sports. Thereafter, others tried to build and failed.

As I watched the game on Twitter, the lyrics from the Grateful Dead’s Throwing Stones came to me; “the future is here, we are it”. A marquee moment for sure and an exciting time for Fancred and the strategic combination with the partner that understands what is unfolding and is ready to be an early leader.
