Youbet.com release social betting network
28th September, 2009
‘WhoDoYouLike.com’ is a brand new Beta website created and run by Youbet.com, designed to act as a social networking site for everything to do with the betting world.
Featuring real time conversations about jockeys, horses & trainers taken from their website and real time micro blogging service, Twitter.
Users are expected to use the service to comment during races, interact with other fans and create a real time buzz around the sport as it’s viewed both online and on the TV – hoping to attract a younger audience while integrating the older generation into the service too.
The service allows fans to track their favourite events to stay up to date, even if they cannot attend the event itself.
Youbet plan on letting customers of the site shape the direction of the new application, creating uses for it as they go along.
Youbet plan to work closely with users of the site and WhoDoYouLike.com in order to maximise the sites potential.
