While several fantasy businesses had migrated to the internet in the mid-1990s, the watershed era for online fantasy sports was in 1997 when two web sites made their debut that forever changed the fantasy sports industry: Commissioner. com and RotoNews. com.

RotoNews. com also launched in January 1997 and published its first player note on February 16, 1997.

RotoNews revolutionized how fantasy sports information was presented on the web with the innovation of the " player note " which were snippets of information every time a player got hurt, traded, benched or had a news event that impacted his fantasy value-all search-able in a real-time database.

Most sites today follow how RotoNews had a " news " and " analysis " element to each player update.

Within two years RotoNews had become one of the top ten most trafficked sports sites on the web, according to Media Metrix, ranking higher than such sites as NBA. com.

RotoNews. com's parent company, Broadband Sports, went belly up in 2001.

RotoNews. com launched the Web's first free commissioner service in 1998, quickly becoming the largest league management service.
