Have a Blog? Add your Posts to our Player Newsfeeds

Our new linking tool is a javascript bookmarklet that has a couple of interesting applications.

1) If you are typing in a supported blogging or bulletin board tool, clicking the bookmarklet will take the text you've typed in and wrap every active player's name with a link to their Baseball Reference page. Supported tools include WordPress, TypePad, Blogger, phpBB, invision, and a couple of others. I'm happy to add more if a tool you use is not currently supported.
2) If you are on a web page with player names in the text. Select the text with your mouse, click the bookmarklet and we'll add links to Baseball Reference pages for the player names that appear in the selected text.

This is @anywhere for Baseball Players, terrifically useful & simple.

One prospect that seems fairly straightforward is letting these resources report on their...

Welcome!

You've reached the personal blog of David Jacobs. I live in New York City, and I'm eating two hamburgers a week on doctor's orders. When you're done with the front page, you can read the archives. You can keep up with me elsewhere on my reblog, my vox blog, randomWalks or flickr, and last but not least, my Typepad profile.
