The FanFeedr Product Blog

E-marketer reported that there is VAST population of tech SAVVY, sports HUNGRY fans. They don’t want to WAIT for their sports news, they want to WHET THEIR APPETITE in REAL TIME:

Much as radio and TV transformed the sports fan experience when they came along, digital technology is doing so today. “In the on-demand era, people expect to get their dose of sports whenever the mood strikes them,” said a new eMarketer report, “Sports Fans Online: Examining the Digital Element of the Total Fan Experience.” “Digital channels provide much of the content that surrounds the games and extend fans’ enjoyment of sports.”

The patterns of modern fandom matter to marketers because the sports audience in the US is huge. In a Marist Poll conducted in November 2011, 61% of adults answered affirmatively when asked, “Do you consider yourself to be a sports fan, or not?”

FanFeedr STRIVES to FEED the sports fan’s RAVENOUS appetite. Everyone’s “tastes” are DIFFERENT, so Fanfeedr offers up different content cuisines. If you like to FEED on your team in “sit-down” fashion you can visit  our website, If you are more of a “fast food” eater, follow your team on Facebook or Twitter.

Grab your “plate” and step up to FanFeedr’s digital “buffett”.

Philadelphia Eagles’ Other View Widget powered by the FanFeedr Publishers’ Dashboard

We recently launched our widget generator, available now, for sports sites.

Why would I add a FanFeedr content widget to my site?

The Publishers’ Dashboard enables you to produce real-time, constantly-updated widgets based on a team, league or player of your choosing.

• Perhaps you write a blog on the New England Patriots and you want to drive deeper engagement to your site.
• The widget displays the best real-time breaking team news that will keep your readers informed about their favorite franchise.
• Rather than being one of many sources of content about a team or league, the FanFeedr widget allows you to be the best place to get news and information.
• This translates into longer stays with your site (third-party sites create a new tab or window) and more repeat traffic.

Carl Desberg, content manager of  Boston Sports Then And Now, explains the value that FanFeedr API widgets bring to his site:

“Boston Sports Then and Now has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past several months, as content and exposure is at an all time high. We are  looking to keep our readers, as up-to-date as possible and make our site a one-stop-shop for Boston Sports news. Now, not only can you read our insightful blog posts, but you can stay on top of your favorite Boston teams.  With the Bruins and Patriots FanFeedr widgets on our homepage, fans no longer have to go anywhere else for breaking news about their favorite teams.”

How difficult is it to generate and install?

You don’t have to be a HTML guru to produce these widgets.

• FanFeedr does all the hard work for you.
• The user-friendly instructions will enable you to produce widgets in minutes.
• You can customize the size of the widget and how many news items that will be displayed.
• Press save, cut and paste the generated code into a Word Press blog or website.
• You now have your own team/league newsroom embedded on your site.

Don’t take it from us, listen to what Chris Rott of Fantasy Football Gator had to say:

“FanFeedr has developed a superb image-delivery solution. Thanks to the simplicity of the FanFeedr API, we were able to integrate “play-of-the-day” action images into our Fantasy Football Web site within just a few hours. In addition, the FanFeedr AJAX interface is built on well-known standards that are efficient and easy to implement in either JavaScript or PHP. This flexibility has allowed us to fully automate the administrative aspects of the image-delivery process, helping us to deliver a solid and reliable service to our customers.”

With Fanfeedr API widgets, you too can make your site a hub for sports news.
