BallHype Launches Fantasy Sports Blips

Fantasy sports news junkies now have a new outlet for discovering the latest news with Fantasy Sports Blips. Launched as a sub-site of BallHype, Fantasy Sports Blips is a niche social news network that allows fantasy players to find and promote the latest fantasy sports stories, with a few simple clicks.
BallHype, along with Yardbarker, successfully pioneered itself as the “Digg for Sports.” Since BallHype’s sale to Future US last year, Future US has focused BallHype on creating niche social news networks, 48 to date, including Beltway Blips, Football Blips, and MMABlips. All of these sites are all rolled up into Daily Radar, which markets itself as “obsessed with your passions,” and has grown its readership to over 1M unique visitors in just six months by focusing on niche social news.
As a social news site, there is nothing special that distinguishes Fantasy Sports Blips from any other social news site–except for the endless amount of fantasy sports news. But, I can not help but get excited by the fact that finally might be a true forum for fantasy players to discuss and share player news.

If Fantasy Sports Blips becomes popular, it has the potential to become a clearing house for the latest fantasy sports news. While fantasy players tend to have their favorite sites to check out for news, a site that allows the best fantasy sports articles to bubble to the top can easily become an invaluable resource and. The downside is can Fantasy Sports Blips become popular enough? Fantasy players are highly secretive and often will not share information. Once Fantasy Sports Blips is able to garner a large enough audience that new content frequently floats to the top, it should become a must-read for fantasy sports fanatics.
