The FanPost Editor Gets Twitter, Better - Blog Huddle

This morning we released some new features, all of them designed to help you share what you have to say about your favorite sport and team. Here is the rundown:

Share on Twitter

When you publish a FanPost or FanShot let your friends (or followers as they're called) know via Twitter. We've built an easy tool into the FanPost and FanShot editors that automatically creates a short URL back to your post and lets you send that to your Twitter stream along with a quick message. You can set this all up from your account settings screen, or right within the FanPost and FanShot editors. See more detailed instructions below.

Redesigned FanPost Editor

We've made a few changes to the layout and features of the FanPost editor:

1) Bigger textarea -
2) Spellchecker -
3) Draggable jump bar -
4) Sidebar inserts palette -
5) Easy status + save -
6) Autotagger -

more like lardy as WU would say!

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

got it

6) Autotagger – adding player, team and game tags to your post helps everyone find your opinion on those subjects; we just made it super easy: write your post, click that ‘run autotagger’ button and we’ll tag your post the most relevant players and teams + link them up as well. if you don’t feel like clicking that button, we’ll run that process for you when you publish.

There is also one feature they didn't discuss (Clipper)

I suppose I’ll include that in my next recap we’ll discuss if we should even bother to use it

Some people say you were the Summer's Eve of the outing.

Until you've looked at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day, you don't realize how often they go up in flames...

I noticed that the Cheat (team captain) shows 2-12-08 as his sign-up.

Could this be right?

I can't remember exactly when

I started reading SSS, but it was some time during the ‘06 season. I didn’t get a profile until I wanted to comment in the music thread during the offseason of that year. Been lurking with sporadic comments ever since. It is truly a wonderful internet destination.

Lurking since 2006
