It’s Alive!

Written by Octagon Digital on February 4, 2009 – 5:19 pm -

At the very end of 2008 we launched Twackle.com, which at the time aggregated all the latest sports tweets on Twitter into one spot, divided into different feeds for leagues (e.g., NFL, NBA), teams, players, and sporting events.  While pretty cool, the site lacked full Twitter integration, and was essentially unidirectional.  We knew at the time that without those pieces, Twackle did not have a ton of utility, but we decided to stand it up quickly anyway to get more experience as we moved towards launching Twackle in the form we initially envisioned.

Well, that launch finally came today (only a couple days late), and we are totally psyched about the results.  The new and (greatly) improved Twackle still organizes sports tweets into easy to navigate feeds, but now with a deeper Twitter integration.  What this means for the user is that they can log into Twackle using their Twitter credentials, add messages to any feed or respond to tweets displayed right from Twackle, and send messages to Twackle.com from Twitter by putting “#Twackle” anywhere in a tweet.   There also is now a myTwackle section, where users can organize their favorite feeds and follow individual Twitter/Twackle users, and we refreshed the UI.

I hope everyone checks it out at Twackle.com, and please make sure to send us any comments, bugs, etc.  Finally, keep an eye out for the features that we hope to roll out over the coming weeks.
