Google tackles football (soccer)
Permalink | March 30th, 2006What do you get when Google teams up with sport giant Nike? Joga.com.
[T]he community for soccer players dedicated to keeping the game beautiful.
Joga is a place to meet other soccer players, share your own soccer experiences and enjoy photos and videos from around the world.
Join us and help remind the world how the game was meant to be played.
Joga? Yes, that’s a “J” not a “Y”. It is apparently short for “Joga Bonito”, which is Portuguese for “play beautiful”. Joga.com members (read “Google Account holders”) will have access to 3 main areas: Content, where you can create your own personalized page and add pictures, videos, blogs, alerts and messages; Community, where you can create teams, find local fields and play against other Joga teams in your area; and Players, where you can read up all about (surprise) Nike soccer players.
Interesting, very interesting…
