A link is also generated so the user can easily share the profile on forums, networks and through email or chat.

NumberFire was founded by Nik Bonaddio in April of 2010. The application received attention from TechCrunch, primarily for its scientific approach to fantasy football stats and analysis. After its alpha launch, NumberFire ended its first season with approximately 30,000 users to go with its positive press coverage. Many users visit NumberFire to gather valuable information on their fantasy football picks as well as to converse with others who enjoy this popular pastime.

NumberFire is unique because the site uses an algorithm to supply users with predictions to help them make decisions for their next fantasy football team. The application also gives users a way to join a large community of individuals who also enjoy playing and discussing fantasy football (as well as football in general). Users can gather historic stats, see how the site rates players and make comments to get football discussions started.

NumberFire welcomes users with a very relaxed, clean design that is highlighted by a bold flaming football tucked neatly into the background. Each player profile is organized into lists of stats and data. At first, the user might feel a little overwhelmed as they figure out what each statistic means. The site includes links and help pop ups that can be accessed by mousing over question marks. Overall, NumberFire is user friendly and provides fantasy football fans with a way to learn more and gain valuable insight into the teams they build.

New users can join the NumberFire community by clicking the green “Sign Up for Free” button along the right hand side of the homepage. A pop up box appears and invites the user to sign in with their Yahoo, Google, Facebook or Twitter credentials. The site does not currently offer a traditional registration form. Users must link one of these accounts to use NumberFire. This makes sense because the application includes a handful of social features.
