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.

• The sports widget home page
• Sample widget for sports in the lovely Oakland, CA
• Sample widget for the scandal-plagued Tiger Woods

Improvements in search

• You get filters on the left-hand side if you search a topic like Mark McGwire steroids

Other material, warmed directly in the FanFeedr oven:

• 6,100 sources for your sports news and information
• You can make your FanPicks with only one click
• We deleted the “#Ottawa” hashtag from the Senators’ Twitter feed because some Ottawans got persnickety about it.
• We fixed sending stories by email, and you can now send stories to more than one person
• Minor tweaks to Pick’Em, in general and you can go here to pick this week’s NFL championship games

Have a great weekend, thanks, FanFeedr

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

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 . . .

• Michael Vick (player)

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
