SportzNewz.com, A Sports News Portal, Goes Live In May.

One of the Internet's most progressive sports destinations, www.SportzTawk.com, announces the official launch of www.SportzNewz.com, a community-drive news portal for sports falls around the world.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 1, 2004--SportzTawk, one of the Internet's most progressive sports-related website communities is announcing the official release of www.SportzNewz.com, the first truly community-driven news portal for global sports news. The new website allows any member of the www.SportzTawk.com community to create news articles and continue to contribute as new developments are breaking for a truly unique outlook on sports.

Founded in April of 2003, www.SportzTawk.com began as a simple discussion board community devoted to sports all over the globe. Over time, membership grew, and the community demanded additional services. One of the innovative new concepts has been the development of a news portal, driven by actual discussion board threads and posts. Ben Irvine, founder of www.SportzTawk.com, said, "It just seemed to make sense, everyone was talking about news in the discussion forums, so it was natural to turn that energy toward a dedicated news website."

The sports news portal, www.SportzNewz.com, actually was released as a "beta" version three months ago to test the concept and technology developed specifically for an integrated news portal. "The test was successful," says Ben, "During the past three months, we had over 600 sports articles created by members, and over 2,000 follow-up comments." Before completing the testing period, www.SportzNewz.com added additional features such as a live RSS feed and constantly updated sports headlines from around the world. "Our goal is to eventually be the one-stop-destination for sports fans of all types," says Ben as he considers the future of his websites.

The websites, www.SportzTawk.com and www.SportzNewz.com, are owned an operated by Ben Irvine of New York, NY. For more information about these sites, or requests for interviews, please send e-mails to press@sporztawk.com.
