Sports Sleuth: the Ultimate in Online Sports Information; Infonautics Announces Preview Launch of Newest Sleuth
WAYNE, Pa., July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Infonautics, Inc. (Nasdaq: INFO - news) today announced the preview launch of Sports Sleuth(TM), the Web's ultimate source for free, personalized sports news and information. Created for the fan and fanatic alike, Sports Sleuth searches hundreds of national and local Web sites to provide users with comprehensive daily e-mail reports on their favorite teams and sports.
Using Sports Sleuth (http://www.sportssleuth.com), anyone can create a personal profile of teams from the NFL, NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball, and Division I-A NCAA Football. Sports Sleuth also tracks NASCAR and additional sports are expected to be added later this year.
The Sports Sleuth service provides a wide range of information, including news, columns, scores, statistics, standings, team histories, trivia, injury reports, transactions and the latest postings from fan message boards from across the Web. Sports Sleuth will be updated periodically throughout the day.
''We believe Sports Sleuth provides fans with a new and better way to engage their passion for sports,'' said Infonautics CEO Van Morris. ''We realize that sports is an integral part of the lives of millions of people. No one should have to search through dozens of Web sites to find out what's new with the teams and athletes they follow. And now they won't have to. Sports Sleuth will do the work. Comprehensive information will now be delivered via e-mail and updated on a personalized page throughout the day.''
Sports Sleuth is the newest service from Infonautics, creator of the award-winning Company Sleuth(TM) business information service (http://www.companysleuth.com), which PC Magazine recently named as one of the ''Top 100 Web Sites,'' and of Job Sleuth(TM) (http://www.jobsleuth.com), a free, comprehensive Internet search tool for job seekers. ''Sports Sleuth not only appeals to the millions of sports fans,'' said Morris, ''but it also showcases the Sleuth technology by aggregating information from a far broader set of web sites.''
