Well,

We are starting to get some traction with FanSpan so I decided to start keeping everyone up to date with the goings on in FanSpan land.

Tuesday...Tuesday was a big day for us. We got some great new members with loads of enthusiasm and some great development coming down the line.  Here are some of the things to look forward to.

Saturday we have search by team, sport and zip code for Watch Sites, groups and people launching. Developers have been working on this project for a couple of months, so this is big. 

This week you will see the map on the front page showing the top 15-25 Watch sites by member count and the 10 newest members displaying. If you choose to, under the profile tab there is a location link. Enter you zip code and save to show your profile on the map. We are still in development of the Google API, so we will be rolling out new features with this fun application as they are completed.

We got ratings systems for Watch Sites coming next week too. We are all really excited about this feature because it will allow the community to rate and decide how good a Watch Site is at the game watching experience. I think you know where I am going with this...a future of more HDTVs, hotter wings, cheaper beer (or at least bigger glasses) and more fans to share it all with. It's going to be a great future.

We got HALF of Nebraska (underlined because there are so many), Kentucky, half of Boston College, and Arkansas Watch Sites uploaded today.

Other teams we have uploaded so far:

• Texas
• Kansas
• Oklahoma
• Alabama
• Georgia
• Washington
• Oregon State
• Cal
• USC
• Arizona
• Clemson
• Miami (FL)
• Virginia Tech
• Colorado
• Missouri
• Texas A&M
• West Virginia
• Michigan
• Auburn Florida
• LSU
• Washington State
• Oregon
• Stanford
• UCLA
• Arizona State

Many more to come as we scour the globe for more locations. We will keep you updated as we find them all. If you have any favorite place to contribute, please send them to addwatchsite@fanspan.com.  As stated above, we are launching the ability to search these sites by team, zip and sport (kind of the underlying point to FanSpan) on Saturday. So please be patient as there are good things to come.

We are going to be making some basic function and look adjustments this week as well, so your feedback is going to be really important.

FanSpan was started as a dream to connect all sports fans around the world. Every day we strive to develop the tools to make this a possibility. I thank everyone for being a part of this and hope to share a drink with you in the near future.

Cheers!

The FanSpan Team
