The major sports websites have yet to embrace the web as a platform for presenting and visualizing stats. It is time for a fresh perspective and my answer is the StatSheet Network, which comprises sites I've created as well as partnerships I've formed with other companies and organizations. The feedback I've received so far has been very positive, which is great because I've barely scratched the surface.

All the sites in the StatSheet Network have the singular goal of doing something interesting related to sports stats. Three sites are publicly available, three others are in development, and three more are at the "notes on a napkin" stage. There is no shortage of interesting things to do with sports stats on the web.

StatSheet.com is the flagship site in the StatSheet Network, and I aim to make it the favorite online destination for sports fans. Initially I focused on men's college basketball, but I've been moving into other sports as time and money allow. Ultimately I'd like to support every major sport, but my primary limitation to is gaining access to quality stats, which turn out to be rather expensive (when obtained legitimately).

In a word: No! I've conceived and developed StatSheet.com by myself, but I'm standing on the shoulders of the crowd. I'm re-using a lot of open software to present data in interesting ways. Several volunteers have stepped forward to offer stats, ideas, and corrections, which have improved the site immensely. I've been surprised at the sheer number of people willing to help. Over time as I make the website more social, I intend to offer even more ways for people to contribute. I'm open to any and all ideas. Email, IM or Tweet me.

I help websites integrate sports stats via StatSheet Services. As for the sites in the StatSheet Network, advertising helps pay the bills. I may create a subscription service for serious stat geeks. There are also some iPhone apps in the works, which are going to cost a small fee. My ultimate goal is to make StatSheet a sustainable business that can support a small staff.
