We have made it so that our links work on mobile devices. If you want to follow your favorite teams on your Blackberry, Android, Palm or Windows Mobile device, just add follow the team on Twitter.
You can find your teams’ Twitter account by going to the team page, like this one, and clicking on “Follow on Twitter.”
Gaming
New and better badges, you can see them on the Leaderboard.
We added a FanFeedr Pick’Em page that allows you to pick all of the games on a given day. You can access this from any page on the service using the “FanFeedr Pick’Em” link above the search bar.
Adding a user’s winning percentage after their picks on the Leaderboard, so you can see who is a “volume” winner and who is picking accurately
Reduced posting a user’s picks to Facebook and the service so that you don’t get overwhelmed with updates (and neither do your friends.)
Service
Revamped our schedules pages so that you can see upcoming games and refer to past games as well, easily.
Fixed sharing by email so that the links work properly
Consider if you will an ordinary real-time sports information website. Diligent engineers provide a steady hand directing regular updates. Then suddenly a magical, revolutionary device changes the face of personal computing forever. The website has entered — the iPad zone.
Nice, right? And yes, we’ll be working on an app for it just as soon as we can get our grubby mitts on one. But in the meantime…
This week’s release offers refinements to our intensely competitive Pick Em game as well as the usual array of nuanced improvements and fillips.
Improvements to game picks
All picks page. Now there’s a single location to find upcoming games to bet on regardless of league or sport. Clicking here will take you there.
Publish game outcomes to FB. Results of the outcomes of your game picks can now be published to Facebook, providing even more fertile ground for mocking your friends.
And some other enhancements:
Better URLs for game pages
Game results for NCAA Basketball now grouped by conference
Team standings on game boxscore pages
And the usual: new content sources to bring you even more delectable news items, tweets, and other informational kibbles and bits.
We do hope this week’s update provides the incremental delectation you’ve come to expect from us. As always, you can drop us a line using the Feedback button featured on every page, and of course, until next week, be careful out there.
We thank you for your support,
Your friends at FanFeedr.
The latest FanFeedr iPhone app is live on the iTunes App Store and available now as a free download.
What’s New
The app will remember the last page you were on and restore it after restart, including the last set of stories from your FanFeed. This gives you a second chance to read them before new content takes its place.
Added hot stories for MMA-Boxing, Golf and Tennis.
Hot stories are now limited to the hottest stories in the last hour.
Bug fixes.
Thank you for your interest in the FanFeedr iPhone and iPod Touch application.
And robust like single-field Ethiopian dark roast, ground before your eyes.
The big deal this week are widgets, as we have a single page where you can generate widgets for your favorite team or player, or for your favorite city/town/suburb.
Twenty-ten, people! Who’d've ever believed it? 2010 sounds conspicuously like the future, but seems conspicuously like the present.
Well, we may not be able to give you flying cars, but R45 is this week’s jetpack:
Refinements to the fabulous FanFeedr game picks and badges:
Posting game picks to Facebook*
A welcoming “newbie” badge for your first successful pick. Don’t you feel special?
Support for ties in soccer (or draws, if you want to be all proper about it).
Badges on your profile page. Now your friends can know how smart you are too.
Top fans ranked by gaming results. You can now officially be the top fan of top fans.
And of course, our usual various and sundry improvements:
Additional content sources and new teams
More Twitter feeds for NASCAR, F1, boxing/MMA
*If you’ve given us permission to post to your Wall, of course.
That’s all for this week, but please join us next week for more exciting FanFeedr features on FanFeedr Feature Friday. And you’ll also get a badge for saying that five times fast.
We tired of sports discussions ending in bar fights with the wielding of the broken glass bottles, so we have a safe way to determine your sports prowess: the FanFeedr Pick’Em game.
Search for a team or a league using the big search bar at the top of every page
Become a fan of a team or a league
Go to your FanFeed (the home page). If your team is in season, you will see offers pop-up before games start. They are shown in green boxes in your FanFeed. They look like this:
What do I get for picking correctly?
If you can pick games accurately, you get badges (that show off how much you know about sports) as well as placement on team pages (like the Yankees, Redsox, Cowboys, Giants, etc.). This solves the previously unsolvable problem: who knows the most about a given sport.
As always, let us know what you think of this feature, here.
What happens if I run out of points?
You can take a survey, take an offer, or just directly buy more points if you run out, by clicking the “Get more” button in the upper right of every page. That will open up a screen like this:
All of the purchases are done over secure connections.
There are three themes for this week’s release.
