On October 13 we launched a couple rad new features that will help better connect you with your friends and your sports...
New Alerts and Notifications
We added a bunch of new email notification alerts when a connection happens on the network.
Every time someone .... - Comments on you or your photos, videos, blogs
- Replies to your comment
- Accepts your friend request
- Signs up from an invite you sent
... you'll get a notification. The notifications will also have the actual comment in it and a quick link to keep the conversation going.
News and Blogger Feeds
This is just the beginning of a newer feature - we're not pulling content into the Sport Hubs from all of your favorite news sites and bloggers in your sport. Soon, Loop'd will be your one stop destination for your sport to get all the news and updates in one place. More info on this one coming soon...
---------------------------------------------------------

We're stoked to announce that we're giving more away sponsorship applications to all free accounts on the network. We know these are tough times and that many of you need sponsorship to continue participating in your sport, so every account on the network now gets 15 sponsorship applications for free (up from 5).
We also are giving you more ways to get more applications if you need them...
- Invite your friends - we'll give you a sponsorship application for every friend you get to sign up on Loop'd.
- Upgrade for Less - for a limited time, you can upgrade your account to unlimited sponsorship applications for just $29.95 ($10 off)... AND we're including a 1 yr. subscription to the Transworld Magazine of your choice.
So... if you're looking for sponsorship, now you can do more with less.
