Sports search in Berry 411
By popular request, I’ve added a “sports” plugin to the Berry411 mobile search tool. The plugin helps you quickly find professional and college sports scores using 4info.
You can search on city, team, or college name. (e.g “sports: seahawks”, “sports: uw”, “sports: seattle”). The latter will display all of the different teams for the city you specify. Once your favorite teams are in your search history, you can quickly find the latest scores via autocomplete.
You can add the sports plugin via the “Edit Plugins” menu item; it’s also built into the latest point release of Berry411 (version 2.63.)

Fantastic news, I love Berry411.
May I ask about plans for Berry Bloglines though? I use Bloglines 5-10 times a day compared to Berry411 which I use daily at most.
Great stuff, many thanks indeed.

I use Berry Bloglines a lot as well, but I’m generally fairly happy with what it does so it’s hard for me to know what to do next.
What are the most important missing features that need attention?

Thanks for responding so fast.
The main item for me is a ‘read all’ link. I read many blogs and often only have 2-3 posts per blog which can get quite frustrating to go through blog by blog.
Secondly, better handling of ‘keep new’ items - have them show up in the summary page using the same (1:2) format for 1 new post and 2 ‘kept new’ posts. Ideally, I would love to be able to ‘keep new’ a post in Berry Bloglines by being able to check a box and adding a ’save keep new’ link at the bottom of the screen that also marks the other items read.
Thanks for the 2 main apps I use on my BB.

Unfortunately, the Bloglines api (as documented here) does not provide anyway to mark items as “keep new”, or to determine which items have been kept new, so this doesn’t appear possible to implement.

Awesome! By the way, we also have player stats for you fantasy sports buffs. Text the player first name and last name to 44636 to try it out.
NFL: Try “carson palmer”
NBA: Try “kobe bryant”
PGA: Try “tiger woods”
