The World Series kicks off tomorrow, and whether you support the Phillies or the Rays, you can show your support through a pair of Facebook applications created by app development company Watercooler.
Some key features of the team apps are discussion boards, scoreboard feeds, quizzes, and leaderboards. There is also a media-sharing option for posting related photos, and users can also see who else will be attending upcoming games, depending on the team application they've joined. Unlike some other game-like applications, which turn major sports events into prize-winning contests, Watercooler team apps just let you show your support and connect with other fans.
Some apps are losing traction on Facebook's platform, due to changes to the site's design. Apps like these appear to be working anyway -- Watercooler has more than 700 sports and TV show-themed applications in total. It has landed a syndication deal with major TV networks, providing additional content for its TV apps.
