This blog has moved, due to popular demand. The content isn't football-centric enough, so it's now on blogger.
You can now find it here:

Her blog point to the fact that social networks are starting to be commoditized. It doesn't matter which you pick, they'll all allow sharing of contacts. Its just not that hard now to create a network to keep track of friends. OleOle's position as a social media platform elevates us from that discussion - people are coming to OleOle to share a passion - to discuss a Social Object. Making friends is nice, but it’s the commtment and passion and interest in the sport that brings them together - the same way it does in the real world at stadiums, pubs and in front of the TV. OleOle is a publishing platform - publishing the views and opinions of football fans in the way that they see fit. We've got the environment and infrastructure to do that in an organized way - and enable discussion instead of just pushing information one way.
What's OleOle's position on OpenSocial / Data Availability / OpenID / Data Portability? YES, we will build for these protocols (maybe when they're standardized a BIT more) so users don't need to create a separate profile on our site - they can login with the profiles they've created other places. The purpose of our site is great content, not being the sole location for personal information.
That's something the big social networks are starting to grapple with - what unique social objects can they add to
differentiate themselves? And what social objects will get people clicking on ads? Its tought because of the complete heterogeneity of the user base - there is no commonality other than people
have friends.

Why can't a B2C press room be a blog? Why not indeed?
A blog would enable comments on press releases, links to important items like logos and fact sheets. It would provide RSS feeds for those so Interested to catch the latest. Enabling trackbacks and sharing, posting in multiple languages are all positives. Why aren't more companies doing it? Are they scared that their news will invite criticism? Is their news not good enough?
I don't see a drawback - let's do it.
