Beverly Hills, Calif. -- 27 August 2008 -- OleOle, the worldwide leading social media site for football fans, announced the acquisition and integration of AVFC Blog, increasing its growing list of UK football blogs by another market-leading blog. AVFC Blog, the popular fan-site on Birmingham’s Aston Villa, brings supporters everything Aston Villa and more.

The extensive blog features news and opinion on the Premier League club from Birmingham alongside with match previews, match reports, and latest transfer gossip. AVFC Blog is the largest Aston Villa destination on the web with over 200,000 monthly visits, nearly twice as many as the official Aston Villa site. The Villa bloggers don’t miss an opportunity to keep the club’s followers informed on all the news and rumours from Villa Park. In addition, die hard Villa supporters can discuss their favourite team’s performance in the integrated forum, easily accessible from the AVFC blog’s homepage.

Like other fan-site owners, who already moved their blogs to OleOle with great success, the AVFC bloggers are embracing the opportunity to share original content and breaking news with a much greater audience on OleOle’s innovative global football platform than they otherwise could with their independent blog. Following the footsteps of top blogs like Arseblog, Chelseablog or Harry Hotspur, AVFC Blog is taking advantage of joining OleOle’s rapidly growing social media site at a critical time. OleOle is continuously stocking up with more content to be able to serve its escalating global readership in time of the commencing 2008/2009 football season.

As with all site owners, who have moved their blogs and communities to OleOle, the AVFC bloggers continue to remain independent and in complete creative control. OleOle is 100% user-generated and completely user-moderated. AVFC Blog is one out of nine sites OleOle has acquired to date in Europe, and OleOle plans to continue adding top blogs, forums and fan communities to the global site.

OleOle’s Fantasy Football (Soccer) game enables fans to select and manage a dream-team of players during the 2008/09 season and compete with their friends

Beverly Hills, Calif. -- 29 July 2008 -- OleOle, the worldwide leading social media site for football fans, today made its social Fantasy Football game available to OleOle members.

Unlike any other fantasy football games where players are on their own, OleOle’s Fantasy Football game is integrated into OleOle’s social football community so players can interact with each other as they make trades, do player research, and check player history. Each player’s personalized home page has a Fantasy Football widget where they can keep tabs on their team’s progress at a glance.

• On the OleOle website, they can catch up on the latest rumours, transfers and stats and use OleOle’s Fantasy Stats Centre.
• Fans can also setup private mini-leagues so they can compete directly against their friends. OleOle groups compliment this functionality so mini-leagues can stay in touch with each other and have private discussions about their teams, strategies, and friendly wagers.

OleOle, the worldwide leading social media site for football fans, announced the acquisition and integration of nine more top football blogs, communities and forums.   By gathering together market-leading bloggers in multiple regions and across ten languages, OleOle is successfully building the world’s dominant social media site for football.  OleOle has attracted some of the leading independent football sites, most of which are the #1 blogs and forums focused on their respective club. After the successful integration of Arseblog, the award-winning blog on Arsenal FC, the company has subsequently added: The Lord of the Wing, Chelseablog, Harry Hotspur, Fans del Real Madrid, Boca Juniors Fans, Soccer-Art.co.uk, Football-Spot, and Real Madrid Talk (June 27) to its site.

Fan-site owners are attracted to OleOle because OleOle’s innovative global football platform allows them to share original multimedia content and breaking news to many more football fans than they otherwise could maintaining an independent blog or community.  No other site on the internet is built for sports fan interaction like OleOle, and bloggers can do much more than just write – OleOle offers photo and video sharing, live match reporting and commentary, fan clubs, football wallpapers and graphics, community discussion as well as document club and player history in an extensive online wiki.  Bloggers are taking advantage of OleOle’s unique publishing tools purposefully built around the real-world structure of professional football.

Bloggers are football fans first and want to write passionately about breaking news and rumours in a social and sometimes viral setting for the benefit of as many fans as possible.  All content on OleOle is 100% user-generated and completely user-moderated, and site owners who have moved their blogs and communities to OleOle continue to remain independent and in complete creative control.  OleOle plans to continue adding top blogs, forums and fan communities to the global site and is currently evaluating top independent sites from the UK, Germany, Spain, and France.
