University fans on the go: UND launches new mobile site

UND Athletics department and technology service provider NeuLion, Inc.  have launched UND’s official Athletics mobile web site, www.FightingSioux.com.

The new UND athletics destination now offers a mobile device-enabled version of the site, amplifying the user experience on the go. The mobile web site will deliver a condensed version of the official athletics site to provide latest news and quick updates to handheld devices. North Dakota’s official athletics website is available on all web-enabled devices by opening a browser and entering the www.fightingsioux.com URL. Users can get the latest news, scores, upcoming schedule, photo galleries and more.

“This is something we’ve needed and UND fans have been asking about for a while,” said Matt Schill, UND athletics’ new media editor. “As web-enabled mobile device use continues to expand, updating the FightingSioux.com user experience was a necessity.”

UND fans can also receive updates and game recaps via e-mail, by signing up to receive FightingSioux.com e-news. Live scores and updates are sent to their phone SMS text messaging by following the @UNDathletics Twitter accounts. A full list of UND teams on Twitter can be found at http://twitter.com/#/list/UNDathletics/fightingsiouxteams. Even without a Twitter account, fan can receive updates by fast following any account. For example, just text “follow @UNDMHockey” to 40404 in the United States to receive text updates about the UND men’s hockey team.
