R39½ with all the fixin’s

With Thanksgiving around the corner (at least here in the States) we kept our cooks in the kitchen over the weekend, combining R38 and R39 into a cornucopia. Here are some of the things we’ve prepared before the holiday:

• More relevant results for league content. With so many sources for league content, we decided to publish only the most noteworthy content items to make sure you can get the most important league news quickly.
• Standings for leagues, conferences and divisions. See where teams are in their conferences and divisions at a glance.
• Improved scores feed to the iPhone. We’ve added some special sauce to the way we publish scores to the iPhone push service, to make sure iPhone users get the latest updates without a fuss.
• And of course, ever more content sources.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend, and check back with us next week for new features and post-holiday diet tips. And Giants fans, please make sure you’ve fully digested your turkey before the game. As always, thank you for your support.

Until next time,
Your friends at FanFeedr.

• To see this go to the site . . .

1. Log out if you are already logged in
2. Refresh the page
3. This only works on Safari, Firefox and Chrome
4. It doesn’t work on IE 6, 7, or 8.

Also . . .

• Scoreboards for all of the other games on each boxscore page, like the Lakers beat down of the Suns, last night, for example.
• Twitter feeds, like the one for my beloved Warriors, are powered directly off of our website, for reduced latency and real-time scores

More to come next week, and let us know what you think.

Thanks, the Feedr of the Fans
