OleOle is a new social network for soccer fans. The site is currently in public beta.
The site is based in New Zealand and focuses on soccer teams around the globe. There are three main components to the site: resources, social networking, and "experience," which lets you participate in fantasy football leagues or buy tickets to games. The resources section focuses on stories submitted by users, which can be voted up, like Digg. There's also a way to keep track of your favorite players and teams in this section as well, offering info on players and teams as each has its own profile with videos, stories, and more.
The social networking component of OleOle includes profiles, blogs, groups, forums and media-sharing. Users can connect based on interests, befriend them, etc. In addition, you can get quick access to live scores for worldwide games, check out the detailed information regarding different soccer leagues, and be informed about events going on in different countries.
This social network is clean and easy to navigate. The different aspects of OleOle are nicely defined and provide a good amount of value to site visitors as well as members. FanBanta is another soccer-focused social network with a distinct tone, that's also recently launched.
