The Morning Call has put together "My Team". My Team is what one might call a 'mash-up' of sorts and it seems to me to be one of the most innovative uses by a news organization of taking traditional print information and transforming it into a web 2.0 medium. The one big thing missing is a forum/message board, but informationally this looks real good.
Nazareth's page is located here:
http://72.3.137.147/SchoolHomePage.aspx?Market=&SchoolID=279
You can select any number of schools. Once you find one, a page opens up with the school name, directions, and a link to the web site. Then there is a calendar and you can select by individual sports to view schedules, results, statistics, and rosters. On the left is a column that includes announcements, articles/headlines, and features (for football there is a video feed from Service Electric with highlights from your schools game) all related to the school.
What a great job of aggregation! Again the one shortcoming is a lack of interaction/conversation that a forum would have allowed, but maybe that is coming in a future release.
I'm adding this to the sidebar under School Related. Enjoy and again congratulations to the Morning Call.
