About

There are search engines, dedicated search engines, blog directories, blog aggregators, Twitter feeds, and much more, all designed to bring you the latest news and information. The problem is they’re not always overly discerning about what gets in and what doesn’t. Quantity so often seems to trump quality and design appears to be an afterthought. What you end up with is a lot of noise.

Inspired by popurls and Alltop, footballURLs aims to bring you only the best sources of news and opinion about the beautiful game. By employing a clean and simple layout, footballURLs is designed to make it quick and easy to help you find out what is happening now with your club.

Equally important, by giving each producer their own ‘slot’ on the page and using their last 5 posts, “yesterday’s news” does not disappear so easily into the cyber black hole of search results on the internet. Maybe this will give well written, informative articles just a little more chance to be read, but we have plans for the future which will hopefully place the best of the best front and centre.

footballURLs was launched initially with a single page only for World Cup 2010 to provide a beta environment. Following a few tweaks to the design, the site began to expand after the new domestic seasons commenced, initially with English Premier League teams.

A page dedicated to clubs in Australia and New Zealand was added in December along with the first phase of feeds from general football blogs from around the world. The early stages of a Twitter directory was installed and Twitter live feeds added to several pages.

Speaking of Twitter, there is a family of footballURLs Twitter accounts available covering a wide range of specific sectors.

This will obviously be an ongoing process and the scope for expansion is only limited by the content that exists out there. footballURLs will eventually be much more than just a football news aggregator, but one step at a time grasshoppers.
