My league just renewed on CBS Sportsline. I took a brief look at the site, and they have a quick video that shows the new features. Most are pretty yawntastic, but much to surprise I found something very cool: This year they'll have an app store.
Much like Apple, Google, etc apps are both of the free and paid variety. They have a grand total of zero to take a look at right now. (The site says "coming soon".)
However, all the details to develop apps are available right now. Take a look at this: CBS App Developer Page The rules are that it's free to write an app. You can serve it up to your league privately for free. If you want to sell it to the masses, you have to buy a $25 license.
What I think is really cool about this is that we have a long time dynasty league and have wanted them to add some functionality, but this seemed like a long shot. I am a software developer by nature. So what's cool for me is that if CBS doesn't add a feature I want, I have the ability to add it myself.
I am curious to see how rich their app store is and how powerful their APIs are.
