    Yard Barker

    DateWednesday, January 14, 2009 at 9:28AM

    Last night I attended an event put on by The National Sports Marketing Network here in Chicago. The topic of the event was "Social Media in Sports" and the event was well attended by many in the Chicagoland sports community. After the event I invited three of the panelists to join me for dinner at a new restaurant in Chicago called Publican. One of the panelists who joined us was Peter Vlastelica who is the CEO of Yard Barker.

    YB's business consists of a community of sports websites and blogs and a branded vertical ad network. They feature a number of athlete blogs in addition to hundreds of fan blogs on virtually every sport imaginable...sorry Joe it doesn't look like there are any Fencing blogs...maybe you can be the first! Peter warned us that Yard Barker would help develop the next big person in sports in 2009...can't wait to see who he was referring to.

    Always fun to meet new people and learn a little bit more about someone's business.
