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.
