eFans Launches New Design

Los Angeles, CA -- 03/30/2011 - eFans (www.efans.com), the revolutionary social network for sports fans, is today launching an ambitious new design that will help users have a better experience on its website. eFans is the only social network that connects all the sports fans of the world with their favorite athletes and teams. eFans is currently online in the USA, UK and Spain and plans to launch in Italy and Croatia next month with more than 10 countries coming later this year.

eFans’ new look will now make the experience of interacting with favorite athletes and teams throughout the world even easier, faster and more enriching for those exploring the website. Users can get their latest results, photos, videos, blogs and comments through Live Feed and Spots Feed streaming. The new eFans look will also make it easier for fans to view and upload photos and videos and also create new athlete and team pages, which has always been the central theme of the website. New features such as games and shops will also be available for users when visiting the site. In addition, status posts can now be done on Facebook and Twitter directly from eFans.

eFans logged more than 1,3 million visits in 2010 without any advertising. Once people came to the site, they stayed an average of 14 minutes, which beats the most prominent sports and social networking sites.

In its third year, eFans has made great strides with only a small seed investment. Despite the financial crisis, Founder and CEO Stephan Maric has found innovative ways to improve the website and is greatly encouraged by commitments from several famous sports brands to sponsor ad campaigns.

eFans is the only interactive website that includes all the pro teams and athletes of the world from major franchises like The Los Angeles Lakers and superstars like Leo Messi to small-town pro and amateur teams and clubs and their athletes. eFans exists to connect all the teams and athletes of the world, big and small, with their fans in a free, online community.

eFans launches in UK and Spain

Barcelona, Spain -- 05/12/2010 -- eFans (www.efans.com), a social network for sports fans, today announced the launch of customized sites for two of Europe’s sports-crazed countries: eFans UK and eFans Spain, all with local content and language. For the last two years, eFans has been connecting sports fans from around the globe, allowing them to share news, watch videos and chat about their teams' latest victories. Now, with sites devoted to individual countries, local teams and athletes will be featured as well encouraging more fan interaction amongst individual towns and communities.

From its office in Barcelona, Spain, eFans will be well situated to control the European versions of the website. Founder and CEO Stephan Maric feels that launching eFans sites for Spain and the UK is a crucial expansion of the business because it will include the teams and athletes from these countries that may only be popular on a local level, many of whom have strong fan bases. He adds that the vibrant pro sports activity in smaller cities and towns should not be ignored and represents many potential users and revenues. With the biggest event of all, the FIFA World Cup, just around the corner, eFans hopes these sites will dramatically increase its exposure in these two countries where soccer is king.

In addition, eFans just moved to Sunnyvale to the Plug and Play Tech Center where it will join a community of over 100 Web 2.0 start-ups. Since 2006 the Plug and Play Tech Center has helped new sites like eFans raise in excess of $450 million in venture funding. PlugandPlayTechcenter.com has become the ultimate place to launch and grow promising new technologies and eFans is counting on its new partnership to take it to the next level.

eFans is the only interactive website that includes all the pro teams and athletes of the world from major franchises like the NY Yankees to now small-town pro teams and clubs and their athletes. eFans exists to connect all pro teams and athletes of the world, big and small, with their fans in a free, online community.

eFans Captures Sports Fanatics With Social Network

Los Angeles, CA -- 09/14/09 -- eFans (www.efans.com), a social network for sports fans, today announced the re-launch of its site, bringing all forms of sports content and online activity to one location. eFans connects users with the global sports world, allowing fans from all countries to share news, watch videos and chat about their teams' latest victories.

With the NFL season kicking off and MLB playoffs just around the corner, eFans aims to connect users with athletes, sports teams and other sports fans through its network of individual and team profiles. Additionally, the site's integration with Facebook Connect allows users to share eFans content and actions with their friends on Facebook in one easy step.

"As we all know, sports is a constantly changing arena, which makes it tough to stay informed of all the latest news," said Stephan Maric, CEO and founder of eFans. "At eFans, we provide a central location for everything sports-related -- from scores, videos and news to connecting with other fans in a meaningful way. Above all else, we are working to engage those who are truly passionate about sports and want to share that passion with the world."

Sports fans, teams, leagues and athletes have proven quick adopters of social networking technologies, as demonstrated by the new NFL and MLB social media use guidelines. From Shaquille O'Neal to Kobe Bryant, athletes are using the popular micro-blogging site, Twitter, to connect with fans. In order to harness this enthusiasm, eFans has added Twitter integration to the site, allowing users to directly update their Twitter feeds from the eFans site. Additionally, a separate real-time feed for site visitors and instant chatting functionality allows individual users to connect with each other directly.

"The real-time features we have added to the site ensure eFans users can share opinions, news stories and status updates in the quickest way possible," continued Maric. "As sports fans can attest, staying connected to the latest developments in the sporting world is really the name of the game."

eFans will be adding fantasy sports features and a sports memorabilia, ticket and souvenir shop in Q4 2009.
