Blogs: On the Fly

Not exactly your everyday web design blog, but close enough when it comes to passion. I've always had a strong passion for the Philadelphia Flyers and up until 2007, there was no way to keep up with the Flyers on a day to day basis. Of course there were news archives but this is different. This is an interaction blog where you can read anything from they received a traffic ticket to injury updates and everything in between. It shows you when they arrived in their opponents city and how the flight was. Game recaps are always involved and its linked through twitter. The difference is is that you don't have to sit on the annoyingly status updated twitter to read the updates. Its not only on twitter and facebook, its directly on the Flyers website. With a catchy tagline "on the fly" this blog is up to date on the second. Posts run from 8 in the morning to 11 at night. As a constant reader and blogger it is extremely useful to a Flyers fan or just someone who wants to keep up with the team every once in a while. I can easily chat to flyers fans or just read a short article and move on.

Kept by digital media manager, Kevin Kurz, the blog covers everything from daily covers to multimedia and may not necessarily be the headlines in the newspaper. But this is what draws me to the site, its the insiders access without paying.
