interested in a product manager from Israel who launched 5 different betting brands? :)

Experience with US fantasy sports is a strong requirement for the PM position.

I have 2 M/S apps and 3 HRD. They are all down :(

Mine is also down... :( any one got any position about it ?

here's my startup/side project: http://app.pickemfirst.com

I'm also at the intersection of HN and fantasy football, which led me to create http://app.pickemfirst.com a browser extension to manage your fantasy teams

I'm loving the product so far, thank you very much!

that's exactly what I'm during at my day job: http://nextbio.com

How many person's curated genome does the nextbio has? I am just curious.

it is not moderated at all. Updates to existing extensions are available within seconds on the chrome webstore...

CBS takes a 30% cut on all app sales

Mh, never mind. Right now they only support baseball, and football is not even on the list. (soccer for americans)

I'm sure they will add american football this summer. and I haven't heard of fantasy soccer on cbs sports.

what makes you think they will ?

Firefox Mobile Nightly releases for Android already include "extensions". Here are some examples: http://people.mozilla.com/~mfinkle/addons/

I do. Deafault browser is slow, the Aurora builds for Firefox have been the fastest option I've found so far on my GNEX. But if Chrome beta is faster I'll use it. On mobile it's all about speed for me!

O.

People who like AdBlock sure do.

Any factual statistics for that?

I've never seen any chart or graph where Firefox Mobile even shows up. Usually when something has <1% marketshare it gets categorized as statistically insignificant or grouped in "other".

It's still not nobody. And having Firefox playing a significant role will prevent situation which existed in the past where many sites were "IE only". We don't need "WebKit only" sites.

There is a difference between "WebKit only", which means you have to support some N number of standards (CSS 1/2/3 for example) and "IE only" sites, where you have to run Windows and support ActiveX.

There are enough WebKit browsers specific things which are not standard to make "WebKit only" situation a problem. In general, well balanced browsers representation makes web developers think better and be more responsible.

Do you have evidence that they are correctly detecting Firefox Mobile? In my day-to-day use, I've seen it treated as everything from desktop Firefox to Mobile Safari, so I'm not terribly optimistic on that point.

On day 1, they have 11 apps from 5 companies.

It will be interesting to see if many developers jump in. My experience is that the intersection between fantasy sports fans and the tech crowd is very thin.

I have already build 4 (small) apps on CBS' platform. I will be happy to share my experience if anyone on HN is interested...

Looks like a pretty cool platform. I have a few ideas in that space I've been kicking around and was thinking about jumping into their dev center. What has your experience been like? How have sales been so far? (totally understand if you want to keep that data private). Just wondering if it's worth investing the time. Thanks!
