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.

Improvements in search

Other material, warmed directly in the FanFeedr oven:

Have a great weekend, thanks, FanFeedr

And next week we will have the super-fresh thing that we think you will find quite enjoyable.

The short list for this week:

  • We are providing better info in the search box (team names for players, columnists listed as such; go ahead, try it.)
  • Soccer scoreboard improved
  • We added in the complete list of authorized Twitter accounts from your favorites athletes, coaches, retired players, broadcasters and writers. Some of our favorites include Ted Leonsis (owns the Capitals), Alan Hahn (of Newsday), and Greg Aiello (of the NFL)

Have a great holiday, and thanks, FanFeedr


Release 24 for the weekend

Posted: August 14th, 2009 | Author: Ty | Filed under: New Tweets, Release, Search, UX, iPhone, twitter | View Comments

Folks,

This week we have added Twitter integration using their super-transparent OAuth implementation. Which means that you can . . .

  • Post your status update to Twitter as well as Facebook
  • Send stories, videos and blog posts to Twitter

We have added the ability for you to follow your favorite teams ON Twitter, if you would prefer to do so there. So far we have all MLB baseball teams (like the Red Sox), and the top European football teams (like Barça). The NFL and colleges will be added next week, and the NBA and NHL in September.

We have also made some subtle changes to the typeahead box, so when you type any name, like, oh, say . . .

We show you whether it is a player, a team, a college, or a news source.

Speaking of news sources, these are some favorites that you may not know about:

  • Fantasy Players: Fantasy football news for the fantasy fan
  • Wages of Wins: Insanely detailed basketball commentary based on regression analyses, and the level of discussions in the comments is also rarified.
  • SLAM magazine: top-shelf hoops coverage

Also on the content side of things, we have added all of the NFL players who are tweeting.

Last but not least, a reminder about our iPhone application, for free, man, and a recent blog post about the company from our friends at Carrot, here.

Have a great weekend, FanFeedr
