Since its founding in 2007, Taptu was run, which specialized in search and touch based interface for mobile devices, mobile search, real-time system, combined with the OneRiot back in 2009, for example. In November last year, however, made a smart decision to bring his knowledge of the mobile search market news reader, Flipboard as Android and iPhone apps that have interesting offers value to the growing market of mobile reader: users will be able to join more than 5000 mixed flows is paltry and not much more than the competition.
Taptu started in April with the iPad a sleek and clean design that, again, sought to differentiate itself from competitors like Flipboard, pulse, flood (and possibly Edition) through its proprietary mobile search tech on the aggregation of the thousands of news sources, rather than relying on those tired RSS feeds.
As some readers may know, the National Football League had been in the throes of a controversial block, which threaten the 2011 season. Owners and players have recently come to an agreement, ending on 25 July, the lock and allowing the show to go on pigskin. Seeing as how football is on time, not wanting to miss out on a great opportunity to expand their feature set, Taptu today entered a new domain Athletic running NFL Fantasy Football News flow for users of Taptu on Smartphones and tablets. New thread allows fans to get updates on each critical STAT and news in real time, allowing fantasy football players to field a competitive team each week.
As my colleague mg wrote last week, the sports world was significantly underrepresented at the pills and News readers, because ESPN (behemoth of sports content) mostly absent from space — at least in terms of partnerships with other developers and startups to syndicate their content. But last week dropped a bomb on the pulse of the tablet market news reader by declaring that he was the first player in the space to get injections of ESPN, along with the existing contents of the report, baseball, Yahoo Sports, and so on.
Although this was a big win for the momentum continues, the more coveted demographic niches that are still under-represented on the tablets, which would be none other than sports fantasy. Fantasy sports are now more than 27 million Americans; It is becoming increasingly popular pastime (money maker). And for those who are, or have friends who play fantasy sports in General, a rabid group.
Although it depends on the sport, in order to field the best team every week, fantasy sports players must consume a lot of information about who plays well, including what players are injured, or at run time, etc. of fantasy sports enthusiasts consume large amounts of statistics and news, they do their homework, as analysts or enterprising journalists is obviously different if you're a mobile startup.
Over the next 30 days, loads of football fans will be building their teams on their desktops and mobile devices in preparation for the commencement of the season. And now, thanks to Taptu, those fans no longer need to visit multiple websites to get the lowdown on trade or injury. In addition, Taptu in fantasy feature allows users to mix and match from football great publications and blogs in one thread, that is easy to read and look for the information.
And nose thumbing at the pulse, Taptu will present the latest news from ESPN, SB nation, Fox and CBS Sports, among others. To find the app fantasy football thread, users simply go to "thread shop" and locate the fantasy football icon, click the plus (+) button, and the thread will be added to the collection of user News. As before, Taptu is available for free at iOS (here), as well as Android phones and tablets (here).
