The FanFeedr Blog

Yes, we managed to add some small improvements and fix some bugs this week, but the real news is that our formerly geographically diverse development team will be joining us at FanFeedr Galactic HQ starting Monday. Doug Tabuchi, former GM, West Coast Operations, and Andy Adams, recently (and briefly) GM, Rocky Mountain Enterprise Zone, are both in the process of living for the city by relocating to New York. Finally, some new contestants for the foosball ladder!

On to this week’s deets:

• Better layouts for photos and team pages. You’ll find it easier to comment on photo pages, and get more accurate scoring information on team pages.
• Greater accuracy for local teams. We’ve rejiggered the GPS thingy again to get you the most relevant local sports news.
• Performance tweaks. Pages with lots of profile pictures should now feel snappierâ„¢.

That’s it for now — check back next week for the next installment. We’ll let you know if we found enough desks for everyone. And as always, we thank you for your support.

Until then, we remain,

Your friends at FanFeedr.

Here at FanFeedr Galactic HQ, we always try to balance the features and content we offer with the goal of keeping the interface easy to use. Occasionally we find ourselves changing things up in small ways that (we hope) have big impacts. That’s what we’ve done with this week’s release, which offers:

• Cleaner left-hand navigation and layout gets you to the content you want faster.
  • Sorting controls are simpler: you can sort by recency (the default), just like before, or by hotness, which encapsulates the stats for views, comments and ratings.
  • Filter controls for content sources are now available by default.
  • Drop down menus take you right to the content pages for leagues, conferences and teams.
  • Other small layout changes: a wider center column, and a cleaner design for information to the right.

In addition, we’ve added a couple of other improvements:

• A filter for “Your picks” in your FanFeed. Now you can see all of your Pick ’Em activity at one go, right from the home page.
• Team records and improved standings for baseball (now that the season is underway, natch).

Of course, we always enjoy your feedback, but we’d like it this week in particular to see how our design changes are working out for you. Just hit us up using the Feedback button and let us know what you think. And we thank you for your support.

Until next time,

Your friends at FanFeedr
