Locker Pulse Product Blog

Starting this morning all premium account members who are subscribed to get the daily newsletter received a vastly improved newsletter.

The new newsletter has a simplified design, scoreboard with your teams scores from the previous night, and story summaries below the headlines. Originally we weren’t sure how useful the daily newsletter would be, but the positive feedback has been overwhelming. Hopefully by now being able to see at a glance whether your team won last night, and by being able to see a little more than just the headline, we’ll make it easier to follow your teams on a day to day basis when you don’t have time to visit LockerPulse and read the full articles.

Here’s a screenshot of one of the new emails, customized for a NY sports fan (click to enlarge):

If you have any feedback, leave us a comment below or drop us an email.

Side note: if you do receive the daily email, you likely received two this morning. There was an issue with the first one showing the wrong teams, so we fixed it and sent the correct one out around 9 AM. We apologize for any confusion.

We recently received some feedback that the site didn’t display properly on the iPad. The iPad presents several challenges for web designers. In reality, most sites looking to make the most of the iPad should be redesigned from the bottom up with the unique functionality of the device in mind. In the meantime though, we’ve done some modifications to how the site is displayed when the iPad device is detected (see the screenshot below). There are a few minor issues with the background image not displaying correctly when you scroll on long pages, but for the most part the site should be fully functional. Leave us a comment below or drop us an email if you notice any issues and we’ll do our best to address them.

Without a doubt one of the most difficult parts of getting LockerPulse off the ground was finding the news sources. News breaks for each team and each league in a variety of different ways, from official team/league/player sites, to newspapers, beat-writers, and even fan bloggers. Over the next month our team will be adding and removing sources from all 122 professional sports teams, in an effort to provide you with your news the second it happens directly from the source who breaks it. We realize that it will be impossible for us to do this completely on our own. Many people have already written us suggesting sites that we’re missing. We will be ramping up our efforts throughout the site to make it more known that we’d like you to let us know what we’re missing. If you have a suggestion for us, please don’t hesitate to contact us. You can click the “Feedback” link under the “More” tab on any page, leave a comment below, or email us at
