Overview:
BigBlueInteractive.com (BBI) provides news, analysis, and discussion on the New York Football Giants. Content includes daily updated news and notes, a MODERATED fan-based forum, game previews and reviews, as well as info on the draft, free agency, and much more. BBI does not merely provide information, it is an interactive community which encourages feedback from our visitors, who we like to refer to as contributors. One area in particular, The Corner Forum, has proved to be especially popular due to the sophisticated level of discussion. The Corner Forum facilitates a growing and dynamic community who share information, passion, and opinions on a wide-range of football- and non-football related matters.
History:
BBI was originally created by Eric in the early spring of 1995 as “The Big Blue Home Page.” In the spirit of the site’s growing interactive nature, The Big Blue Home Page officially became BigBlueInteractive.com in the summer of 1997 and evolved over time to what it is now today. In case you were wondering, BBI is not affiliated in any way with the New York Football Giants.
Readership:
BigBlueInteractive.com registers millions of “page views” per month from contributors all over the world. Of course BBI has a large New York/New Jersey readership, however many contributors are information-starved Giants fans who live and work outside of the New York/New Jersey metro area. Moreover, the website is truly global as significant web traffic is registered from Canada, Europe, Asia, and even the Middle East. BBI has become more than an information source to our contributors. It is a place where fellow Giants fans can share their thoughts and feelings about the team. Indeed, many strong friendships have been formed through BBI and contributors often plan to meet in get-togethers all over the world. Also, due to the educated demographics of our contributors, non-football discussions are quite common in The Corner Forum.
