Theiplfanclub.com - Network of Indian Cricket Fans

Cricket is big business in India and arguably the most popular sport in the country. The recently launched Indian Premiere League (IPL), is growing rapidly in popularity and it now has its own social network where fans can meet and share their love of the sport. The interface of TheIPLFanClub is familiar to anyone who has ever used a social network, with user profiles, photos etcetera. TheIPLFanClub also allows users to select which team they are a fan of and to filter their search to find only fans from any specific team. In a bid to speed up adoption of this network, they are currently running a limited time contest that awards “runs” when people invite friends, make comments or upload photos. The winner of the contest will be awarded tickets to the final game of the inaugural season.

“Welcome to www.theiplfanclub.com, a social utility that connects you with the people around you.”

Cricket is hugely popular in India and the recently launched IPL is already gaining a significant foothold. Look for this new social network to be just as successful as the league itself.

This is a nice site and it is sure to be a success. Perhaps they could consider soliciting a member of each of the IPL teams to write a blog or lead a discussion to encourage more fans to sign up?
