Although it may seem a giantic task to go up against a power house website like Facebook, it can be done...Their site is plain and somewhat hard to navigate...I started ezdate123 a free online dating site and we have gained ground on most larger sites simply by making ezdate123 free and very user friendly...I feel any site out there is fair game. You need a good idea or take a proven idea and make it free if you can. You can then sell space to advertisers. This is the same principal that Google built on. Ezdate123 started as a pay site in 2002. We made major changes several years later and went totally free. It was the best moved we have made to date....We make more money selling advertising space then we ever did selling memberships....Don;t give up.... and do a lot of research and reading.....I wish them the best, Mike/ezdate123

August 20, 2008, -- Fanzak.com has re-launched the premier sports social networking site on the web, www.fanzak.com.

Through a lot of hard work and market research Fanzak has gone back to the drawing board and improved on the platform that makes us one of the most diverse sports social networking sites on the web. The Fanzak network now provides a better forum for sports fans to foster their obsession by connecting with the teams they root for and their rivals. On the site, members can read team news, share opinions on their favorite teams, and discuss, comment and blog on rumors

Our goal was to make the interface easier to use, cleaner, provide more sports content and give the user more control over shaping the way they view the site. Fanzak is now built off of widgets, all of which can be moved around pages from group pages to your profile. You can play around with the widgets and create a page that fits your sports obsession.

We hope you like the new site!

Come build your own sports world at www.fanzak.com.
