the article looks great, and would be even better without the big mistakes maybe only european real soccer experts realise.
ims is not the first kind of such a database. apart from several other good websites, the searchmachine of germany´s ISB is online for almost 10 years. we welcome ims on the market and wish them good luck ahead of the next transferperiod.
ah, by the way, both Tevez and Caffa are no leftfooters, and a search on ISB with exact the mentioned criteria would give you a list of over 100 players. we all know, argentina provides some good players…

there are many types of football SNS, footbo is just one of them and is pretty niche. interesting, both footbo and imscouting are Israeli. is that a coincidence?
the real challenge for imscouting is to keep their data updated. if they leverage their “correspondents” correctly, they should win this battle.
does anyone know if the 40 are internal or employees?
nice site and design data seems OK, good start – good luck to them.

not too sure they will be able to challenge footbo.com for the social networking aspect. I think they pretty much nailed it already…

First problem will be trying to match the quality of scouting against Football Manager -game franchise.

That franchise has a huge, unpaid and worldwide scout network and they gather dozens of data points per player.
FM 2009 includes about 350,000 players and staff from around the world. Not a chance to make that happen with 40 people.

I think that english wikipedia and FM will still continue to get the bulk of unpaid hours. Not enough will be left for IMScouting.
Replicating that amount of work with paid hours is too costly.

Only way to survive is to start scraping en.wikipedia for data and expand from that base.

A sound concept except that compiling data on every player in the world is nigh-on impossible. Sites that act as databases are pretty much reliant on the data being up to date. In the obscure leagues this just wouldn’t be economically viable.

The vast majority of the leagues are irrelevant save for a few players in each, so collecing data isn’t particularly useful.

They might benefit from a Wiki style approach, or should maybe concentrate on certain leagues or type of data first. Either way, I think doing every league with every stat is too broad to keep reliable.

“Tevez’s estimated market value by the way is around 4.7M GBP”

Not the £30 odd million most places are reporting then? http://www.skys...4257077,00.html

This is indeed the case. Sometimes hard manual labor beats automated solutions. At the moment it’s 40 people but this will grow as the company expands its coverage.

Soccer is the most played sport and the 4th most watched sport in the US. If that’s what you mean by it being a failure then, yes, it’s been an abysmal failure! Fyi, the attempts at establishing a successful league in the US have been led by Americans and not by those foreign invaders you speak of. You probably won’t be too pleased to hear this, but the women’s league is making a comeback next year. Now your daughters, nieces, sisters etc have something to watch, besides the WNBA. You’re welcome.
