This is a new app that I was made aware of and thought would be good to get your thoughts on too.  It is made by the guys at Slipstream who work with the likes of Volvo Sailing and British Triathlon.

Sportsday.co is an idea to bring tweets into one place where you can watch all the information about your team; follow games, transfer news, team updates, etc in an easy to view and aesthetic manner.  Something not really possible via Twitter lists.

The dashboard means you can follow all teams tweets (from anyone mentioning the official team account) or just the one that you are interested in.  The idea is to make more available through the site as time goes by so that it includes more content.

As Dan Griffey, Director at Slipstream, told me;

“We made it… as a proof of concept and intend to develop the app further to include more sports (and a dashboard to show sports / leagues / clubs) and eventually a mobile app.

We have added some features, including permalinks (http://sportsday.co/#!/mcfc) and stats, and will evolve the stats so that match day trends can really show through. We also plan to hook into Foursquare events for each of the main stadia.”

It sounds exciting and even now it is easy and enjoyable way to follow what is happening in the football world.  Its an idea that could evolve into following individuals within teams and even reporters/PR staff from them too. That would mean you would get all the breaking news from one place.

Unfortunately for me my team, Manchester United, dont have an official Twitter account (aside from the little used PR one).  Thus I have to stick to Twitter and Tweetdeck for my news for now.

Its a great idea and looks to work well.  What do you think of it?  Here are some screenshots of the site…
