When news alone isn’t enough, here comes FootyTube for football fanatics

Yesterday I tweeted on my Twitter stream

“Number of product roll-outs does not equate to product innovations. Most times, it works the opposite” [link]

FootyTube is an aggregator site with an engine that trawls the open web and gathers football related content in the form of videos and articles and republishes them into, yes, FootyTube. Better yet, the value of FootyTube is the categorisation and channels it creates out of the jumbled up, perhaps noisy search data that gets returned form these searches.

I’m pretty impressed by what FootyTube has done in terms of organising these disparate, mixed up data and turning them in visual-information gems.

Website is in beta. You’d need to be a registered member to view videos. (I registered) Here are some screenshots. And my annotations/review.
