    5. For news story items, show team logo in icon (not Spitterbot icon)

      In the main stream, for news stories, currently the icon shows as a default of "Spitterbot" regardless of which team the story is about.

      In "MySpitter", when I am following several teams, that makes it impossible to visually scan the MySpitter page and know which of my favorite teams each story relates to.

      Instead of the default "Spitterbot" icon, it should show the icon related to the team I am following. This would make it very easy to visually scan the MySpitter page and know which team each news story relates to.

    6. Provide sources for each news post.

      It'd be nice to know where your news is coming from, be it a blog or the AP or Rivals or the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The headlines tend to run together and it would help readers weed out the stories they've already read or don't have an interest in.

    10. create news feeds for individual players. I'd sign up to follow all my fantasy players specifically.

    11. New feature

      It would be great to have the channel logo next to the spitter feed to quickly browse/see what the post is about. Even maybe one-click on the channel logo to sort the posts.

    12. Following Formula1

      Currently you can follow individual drivers on Formula1. It would be great to be able to follow 1) the whole sport 2) teams in addition to individual drivers

    13. following a user, and being their friend should be two speperate things

      When you go to a persons page, you click "follow" and then they are your friend. I think these should be two separate things. I can follow anyone, but a separate request should be made to be there friend, and that request should require confirmation from the user.

    14. use language filters.

      Enable the user to be able to decide which languages he accepts news feeds in. Example: If I don't speak Russian, I don't want to see any news feeds in Russian.

    15. Make it obvious what to do when first logged in

      Hottest trends, find a team, find fans around you, find friends, etc..

      Staring at what looks like a twitter clone, it wasn't immediately obvious/compelling why I should do anything. Clearly it's sports-related, but beyond that, not clear what the value is, and what should be done next.

    16. Registration: password requirements too ridged

      Suggestion passed along from a user to me (DE): "You gotta ease up on the password level though. My password is good enough for banks but not spitter? it's letters and #'s"

      I agree, at point of registration, Spitter is more ridged in pswd requirements that most websites I see.

      Interesting idea on following entire sport with one click, we hadn’t thought of that use case. In terms of following multiple teams, how would you most want that to work in terms of user experience?

    19. Remove posts about "Tickets"?

      I'm seeing a lot of posts come in that relate to ticket brokers selling tickets. Feel sort of (unintentionally) spammy to me. I'd rather see real discussions and real news, not ticket brokers spamming about selling tickets.

      I would be in favor of automatically filtering out posts about tickets.

      What do you think? Should this be filtered out of the posts?

      Or keep as is?
