This is my first post here, so I am not sure how hardcore you guys are in terms of fantasy baseball. What I'd like to do is develop the perfect fantasy sports website for fantasy fans. What I can really use are opinions and a bit of beta testing to see what you guys think.
The biggest thing I need opinions on is my mobile fantasy news (http://www.fantasy-news.net/mobile/) feature on the website. Since not everyone has a web browser, I figured using text messages was the best way to let everyone use the service for free.
Basically, it works like this. . .You open up your phone and send a text message to a specific email address (listed on the website). You can grab his player news or his fantasy stats. Let's say you want to know how A-Rod has faired in his last 3 games but can't get to a computer.
You'd text "sL rod nyy" .
sl -> stands for stats based on last name
rod -> the shortened version of alex's last name (since typing it all out is a pain!)
nyy -> the team call letters to narrow down the search.
There is a lot more to it, but this is the abbreviated version of what I created. Please, beta test this for me and provide me feedback so I can make it better. If you think it sucks then be sure and tell me that as well. :)
