ESPN Fan Profiles
In the short time I’ve been working at ESPN I’ve learned a lot and have done a ton but haven’t had much to show for it since it was almost all behind the scenes development work. Well, the stuff I’ve been developing, along with the help of some of the best developers I’ve ever had the good fortune to work with, is now available for public consumption.

If you love sports then you probably go to espn.com about 12 times a day or more depending on how much you try to get away with while you’re supposed to be working. Now you should have a little more to do while you’re there. You can have your own little piece of personal space on the site to post photos and blog entries and interact with your fellow fan via comments and groups. This is just the beginnings as we have a ton of other cool things planned for the site.
There was a previous version of Fan Profiles up but this version that is now live is completely new from soup to nuts and is completely written in Ruby on Rails. We’re still working out the kinks but it sure feels good to have it out there and getting used by all the fine fans of the site.
