Zentact Blog

When I first found Zentact, it took me no time at all to realize how I was going to use this tool. I’ve played fantasy sports for the better part of a dozen years and it is always a challenge to keep track of which players are on which fantasy team. For example, in my ten owner National League only league, each owner has a roster of 40 players. That is 400 players on teams to keep track of — on top of trying to know which free agents I can add to my team. Compounding this problem is the fact that I’m not in only one of these leagues. It becomes an exponential problem pretty quickly.

Zentact saves me many mental cycles and much cross referencing between multiple sites. I’ve added a contact in Zentact for each of the owners in my league. For each owner contact, I’ve tagged them with all the players on their fantasy team. Now when I read an article that talks about baseball players, Zentact tells me which person in my fantasy team owns the players in the article. I don’t need to pop open a new tab and search by player name at the league page to mine that information anymore. Zentact does the player-to-fantasy team matching grunt work for me!

Fantasy sports have an aspect of information secrecy to them. I haven’t found myself reaching out to the owners I compete with to tell them how great their players are… just in case I want to trade for that player later. I do reach out to my co-owner very regularly, so that we are on the same page about what players to try to acquire. Once baseball season is full swing, I anticipate reaching out regularly to opposing team owners too to shoot them information about my players — seeding ideas in case about how awesome my players are.. just in case I’d like to trade them later.

Thank you Zentact team for creating this tool and sharing it with the world! I hope by season’s end I can also be thanking you for your help in winning me another fantasy baseball championship.

This past week,  we quietly pushed several new features and our latest extension.  If you are on our private beta, we are sure you will like these.

New features include:

• More robust contact information including LinkedIn, Blogs, RSS, Flickr and Delicious
• Automagical population of data - we have added Twitter handles to 8% of the contacts (more coming soon)
• Access to real time data while emailing.

To get started using these, you need to do just two things:

1. Download the latest extension at: https://zentact.com/zentact.xpi
2. Add data to a few key contacts.   (We will start populating it for you in the future.)

And enjoy.

Happy Friday the 13th!
