At long last, I'm finally sitting down and posting my first official Internet blog. I'm no stranger to message boards and I suppose some of what I've written before could be considered to be a "blog". Most of the posting I do on a daily basis revolves around my fantasy basketball league message board on NBA.com. For those who aren't familiar with fantasy sports, it's a hobby I enjoy in which I build and comprise a team made up of real NBA players. I then compete against other fantasy managers based on those players' actual stats during actual NBA regular season games.
The current league I'm involved in is made up of 12 teams, and is a very competitive and vocal fantasy league. I'm very confident in my basketball knowledge and make that well known to all the other managers on a regular basis. This generates a lot of "trash" talk, and makes for a very interesting and entertaining NBA season. I recently made two trades in this league that I feel will put me over the top in competing for the championship.
Fantasy leagues come in various formats. From NASCAR, to the PGA, Internet users all over the world can involve themselves, interact, and compete with other sports fans in the league(s) of their choice. Fantasy sports is just one of an unmentionable amount of benefits that Web 2.0 presents.
I'm looking forward to investigating, learning, exploring and sharing different ideas and creations through this assignment and the discovery of Web 2.0.
