Welcome, 
Experience Superbowl XLII like never before with the interactivity of Jacked.com
Jacked.com adds new features to its online broadcast companion for Patriots and Giants fans to “Jack In and Take Control”
SANTA MONICA, CA January 29, 2008 – Jacked, Inc.™ (www.jacked.com), developer of a new Webtop publishing platform designed to operate with broadcast media, announced today that it has launched additional features for its SportsTop™ product, providing an interactive experience for millions of viewers tuned in to Super Bowl XLII. The Jacked platform monitors the in-game broadcast, publishing relevant content to users in real time such as player profiles, stats, photos and history.
“It’s been an exciting football season for Jacked supporting hundreds of games, and we are looking forward to the biggest football matchup of the year approaching us,” said Bryan Biniak, CEO of Jacked. “We know that sports fans are always hungry for more content and Jacked.com offers a platform unlike any other gamecast, allowing fans to personalize their viewing experience and receive the latest scores and stats as the action is happening on the field.”
Jacked.com combines the visual excitement of television with the limitless information available on the Web in a single browser dashboard to create the ultimate sports viewing experience. During the game, consumers can log on to the Jacked.com dashboard and chose from a total of 16 widgets that they can personalize according to their tastes and interests.
New Features:
Video - The video widget uses Jacked’s Searchcasting™ technology to look for the latest and greatest team and player videos for the game that is currently being broadcast. An innovative search function allows users to search for specific videos within the widget.
Player Profile - The Player Profile automatically highlights players based upon key events going on during the game.
News - A news widget automatically searches for the most up-to-date news during the game.
Chat - Sports fans can actively participate in the game experience through the chat widget which allows them to connect with other fans and even engage in trivia contest to test their knowledge.
In addition to the NFL, Jacked.com supports NBA, NCAA football and NCAA basketball with NHL and MLB games coming soon. For NBA games, viewers can access the Jacked Heat Index which uses analytical metrics to dynamically index each player's performance at any specific moment in the game. Sports fans can follow players and see at which points in the game they are underperforming, meeting expectations or are “hot.” This patent-pending widget not only uses game stats, but adds a time component that decays a player's index as he "gets cold" either by being out of the game or not contributing while on the floor.
Just in time for the Super Bowl, Jacked has developed the Football Championship Challenge, an interactive application that gives registered users the chance to win $10,000 for correct predictions about the game.
