Bird's Eye Sports Needs a Bigger Widget

Bird’s Eye Sports in Westport, Conn., (http://www.birdseyesports.com) has long been the leader in regional prep web coverage in the Northeast. Ben Talbott’s Internet operation was one of the first on the scene in 2003; his company continues to provide exceptional data and content services, particularly in the field of action video.

Not surprisingly. Bird’s Eye has become one of the first web sites to launch an all-state MaxPreps widget, taking on the task of building a sprawling boys’ basketball widget that includes every program in the Connecticut. The problem is, Ben hit the 150-school limit when he got to the “Ts” and to Trumbull High. There are 178 teams in Connecticut. He needs openings for 28 more.

Will someone please help him? The MaxPreps widget needs greater length here! Others are surely waiting to do the same with their own states:

Talbott, incidentally, was a NCAA-All American in football at Lehigh University. He has since helped a number of athletes through the search process for the right college with his business. He was also selected by the Anaheim Angels in the MLB amateur draft in 1997, spending time in their minor league system after a successful two-sport career at Lehigh. Bird’s Eye has been a MaxPreps.com media partner since last summer, subscribing to the popular content management program.
