The company was founded on June 4, 2007, and launched into private beta on October 3, 2007. The site launched into public beta on February 20, 2008. The initial version of the service was focused on creating a virtual sports bar where fans could interact with each other and share their opinions on sports, but has since focused on broadcasting sports that are not available anywhere currently. The service shifted focus toward the markets of High School, College, and Youth Sports as a video platform and fundraiser for content owners before fully shifting focus toward online video monetization.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
