Release 13 is up

There was some minor debate about changing the release number to 14, just as New York City elevators have (mostly) ignore the 13th floor, but I was talked down from my superstition.

One of us at the palacial FF H…

One of us at the palacial FF HQ noticed http://twitter.com/#search?q=Barcelona trending upwards. Congrats to Barca on the win!

Release 12 is live!

We just released Release 12 to the world. Goodies this week:

• College sports are now focused exclusively on Division I. Sadly, this means there will be no more stories about the Haverford Flustered Pedants.
• Conferences and soccer leagues. Now you can view content about the English Premier League, UEFA, the Pac 10 and the ACC on their own aggregation pages.
• Significant under-the-hood improvements, clearing the way for us to add features in the weeks to come. Plus now the engine’s even louder when we rev it.

We’ve also added some interface touches here and there, based on your cards and letters. Accordingly, please keep them coming via the Feedback tab on the left side of every page.

Thanks,

Your friends at FanFeedr.

Release 12 coming out tomorrow…

Release 12 coming out tomorrow will have a bunch of UX goodness, better search for colleges/universities and a sweeter homepage. #ux #dev

Release 11 is up

And that means a bunch of things:

• The home page has changed. The first version had a little bit too much going on, so we simplified it and tried to make it more relevant. This includes providing you with a single feed of your favorite team information and social activity by your friends and people you follow.
• We also changed the name and nature of the FanFeed. It covers all of the above. To just get news, video and tweets, click on “Your Content.“
• We added colleges and universities. Right now we are showing everything, including the Division III powerhouse, Haverford College, but we will shortly focus on Div. I teams.
• We improved the way we categorize sports, so you should see more relevant material in your feed.
• We also changed the color of the sports icons that you see here, thanks to the smart talents of the super-talented Jennifer Gormley, who also provided the very Roger Blackian background for our Twitter page.

And some other odds and end that will put you to sleep but make the site better.

As always, let us know what you think via the Feedback tab on the left side of the site.

Looking for some (quick and easy) feedback about your sports needs: http://bit.ly/fanfeedr Thank you in advance.

Release 10 is up

And that means a bunch of things:

• Images are associated with posts where we have them. We will add more photos over time.
• The page titles reflect the content of the page (instead of saying “Fanfeedr” at the top of every page)
• Full Twitter readouts so that athlete tweets don’t get truncated
• Hotness across the site works
• We sped up the type-ahead in the search box
• We added rosters for a number of sports
• We added in charts, on each search bar in the upper left.
• Your comment activity shows up on the activity feeds
• Reduced the size of the team logos so that your eyes don’t fall out of your head
• We added 500 athlete and coach Twitter feeds

And some other odds and end that will put you to sleep but make the site better.

As always, let us know what you think via the Feedback tab on the left side of the site.

Thanks, Fan of Feeds
