A Look at NSNsports.net

The thing about NSNsports.net that immediately struck me when I visited the homepage was their excellent video content, including recaps of previous games and complete online game video. I was surprised to see they offer live streaming of ongoing games with commentary. It's an amazing concept that an online website can offer game action of Lyndon State Div III basketball. The video quality isn't the greatest, but the fact they even have video is impressive.

Ease of use is excellent on the site, everything is clearly labeled for the most part with tabs for high school, college, etc. They have various blogs which I find useful, although the downside to these blogs is the font size is too small! I have excellent eyesight and I really have to strain to see it.

The part of their website that I didn't think was being utilized to it's full potential was the text content. The text is boring, there isn't any color to their sports writing. The positive to this approach is it gets the main points across to readers, but I would like to see captivating headlines and some player quotes. I don't think there is any substitute for player remarks, they typically know better than anyone what's going on with the game.
