Clearspring to Corner the Sports Widget Market

Mar 18 2007

Another sports widget just discovered. This one is a run-of-the-mill scoreboard widget for the NBA. It’s got the usual “Yesterday” and “Today” tabs with games and scores. There’s no lack of links taking you back to the NBA.com site.

The “Grab It” button presents the embed code for you to spread the widget around.

This is the fourth sports widget that we know of from Clearspring. If they keep this up, they are going to corner the market on sports related widgets.

If anyone knows of any others, let us know and drop us a comment.

We’re still waiting on the NHL widget…

Colts Providing an Official Widget for Their Fans

Dec 27 2006

The Colts have teamed up with Clearspring to provide a widget for the Colts. See below for the widget and grab the code for yourself if you’re a Colts fan. The widget itself is loaded with features; an image slideshow, latest news and video feeds and links back to the official Colts website.

For now you can grab the embed code, email to a friend or auto insert into TypePad. But, it does look like there are plans for auto insert into MySpace and Blogger.

One problem with using this widget on MySpace is the inability to link externally from MySpace. Pat Coyle of Sports Marketing 2.0 blog and Director of Database Marketing & E Commerce for the Indianapolis Colts indicates that they are working on this. Let’s see if they are able to resolve this issue. If they are able to, it could be good news for other widgets providers out there. In the meantime, you can still use this widget in a variety of places and other social networks.

You can grab the Colts Widget here.
