Finding the right company to enjoy a game of football, baseball or basketball and talk about your favorite teams usually isn’t much of an issue for local sports fans.  Sports bars and restaurants are littered throughout every major city with a professional sports team and even many that aren’t, but what happens when you move away from your local team for a new job or another opportunity?  You suddenly find yourself separated from everyone you can talk to about your favorite team.  That’s why cool person in tech Leigh Goldstein has founded Exiles, a social networking site designed specifically to cater to communities of displaced sports fans.  Exiles hosts several micro-sized social networks on its site, and each one is specifically dedicated to a particular sports franchise and its displaced fans in other areas of the country.  Goldstein and his team are aiming for these microsites to replace the community feeling of a local sports bar or club.  Fans can share team-specific stories, ask questions of the community, share related news articles, and even form local meetups if you find other displaced fans in your area.  By transferring teams’ fan community online, Goldstein believes he can recreate the communal experience that local sports fans have for fans that live away from their team.

Goldstein has patterned Exiles’ microsites after popular social networking and blogging sites like Facebook and Google+.  Displaced fans that don’t have experience with social networking will definitely need online tech support to take full advantage of the Exiles service.

Currently, Exiles only has pages for a limited number of teams, including popular choices such as the New York Yankees, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Dodgers.  Goldstein hopes to expand the number of communities that Exiles hosts as the communities on the site continue to grow.  Eventually, Goldstein aims to add mobile PC support to his site by creating smartphone and tablet apps for Exiles as well.

Goldstein has a solid background in technology business. He has held management positions at both eBay and StubHub while also founding a mobile app development startup called Discovereez.  Currently, he has focused all of his attention on his responsibilities as CEO of Exiles.
