It’s really easy. Seriously. Go here: http://www.lowpost.net/tracker.jsp. Put your players in, and then subscribe to the feed using your favorite RSS Reader. If you don’t have one, I’d take a look at Bloglines or Rojo. If you don’t know what an RSS Reader is, you better axe somebody.
An example, if I wanted to subscribe to the Chris Mihm tracker, I’d just go to the Chris Mihm news page, and use my Rojo subscribe bookmarklet (yes, I’m using fancy web 2.0 words) to add Chris. Then, whenever any of the 159 blogs that lowpost.net tracks posts something about Chris Mihm (like him getting dunked on), I will know about it. Instantly. I don’t have to go to Yahoo, or ESPN, or Sportsline or ANYWHERE, except Rojo.
Power user tip: You can track up 20 players with one RSS feed from lowpost.net. That’s probably enough to track about 1/3 of the players you have on your 5 different teams. “What am I to do?” you’re probably saying to yourself. Well, you could set up 5 different feeds (one for each team), and put those in your RSS Reader. Then you know which team you are looking at just by the feed (you can likely rename the feed to correspond with the team name, depending on your choice of RSS Reader). If you have one player on more than one team, I would suggest only putting that player in 1 feed, so you don’t get the same blog posts repeated over and over again. Of course, if it’s one of your higher draft picks, maybe you do want them in there multiple times so you know how important that news is… it’s up to you, really.
Not that you’ve been wondering where I’ve been for the past week, but, um, blogger was down. Yes for a whole week. Or else I was moving. One of those.
