I'd like to plug this in to my feed reader. What's the feed URL?

Is there any chance that we could see all the player news blurbs on Twitter at some point in the future?

Yes, absolutely. If people would prefer more blurbs on Twitter, we'll look into that.

Thanks for the feedback.

I believe most Feed Readers are able to use the standard twitter URL.

However, you might prefer our RSS feeds:

Is there a basketball-specific feed? I did a search with my reader and it showed your NFL and MLB feeds, but nothing for NBA.

http://rss.rotoworld.com/rss/nfl.xml
http://rss.rotoworld.com/rss/mlb.xml

Based on the above URLs I figured the NBA feed would be http://rss.rotoworld.com/rss/nba.xml but that doesn't seem to be working.

The feeds you listed above are old and no longer available.

For Basketball, use: http://www.rotoworld.com/tools/rss/fantasy-basketball.aspx

How about individual player feeds?

That, plus some kind of interface on the Rotoworld site to be able to plug in the players we want to get Twitter updates on (our rosters, etc.) would be awesome.

But I think a general "Rotoworld NBA" feed for all player news blurbs would also be a great idea.

Thanks again for all the work you guys do putting this stuff together behind the scenes.

The best way to get specific player updates is to use RotoDirect, which is part of our Basketball Season Pass.

RotoDirect will email you with breaking player news, per your personal configuration.

The Season Pass is now only $4.99.

I was going to subscribe to this feed, but I noticed that you don't have all the blurbs on there (still). Ones like Michael Redd would be especially helpful; that's the kind of information that helps people win leagues.

Any chance you could go to an all-blurb format?
