Spitter crunches your sports news, Twitter style

Aug. 27  

spitter_logoFor sports fans who desire their information rapidly and already versed on the blogs, boards and even their teams’ Twitter feeds, there is a new game in town. Launched Monday, Spitter is a sports fan’s newest real-time source for news and discussion.

Powered by SpitterBot, Spitter searches the Internet for the best sports news headlines and fan discussions and presents them on pages organized by team. Registered members of Spitter — the spitters? — post comments and news links directly onto team-specific pages for the community to share. Thus, a Red Sox fan can go to the Red Sox page on Spitter.com and find real time news headlines with links to current coverage of the team, from a wide range of media sites, paired with fan discussion and commentary by other Sox fans. The site can also combine all of the teams that you’re interested in into a Twitter-style stream, becoming a one-stop destination for sports news.

He has even been known to pull for UConn from time to time. At BC he lived next door to Craig Smith who now plays for the Timberwolves and also sat his couch. Chris has written sports articles for the Harbor News and Valley Courier newspapers in Connecticut, created the Boston Collegian and BC Carpetbaggers websites and wrote the screenplay "Degrees of Learning" which he is trying to sell. Chris now resides in Milwaukee, still a New Englander at heart and a BC Guy for life. He is joined in Wisconsin by the Craig Smith couch but longs for New Haven pizza and good clam chowder.
