We would like to wish good luck to all of the X Games 16 competitors this weekend.  You can check out the action at ESPN.com . From back flips to hair flips these guys and girls rock!

Congrats to our Boulder neighbors, ski apparel brand Spyder Active Sports, who have just announced their pledge to raise $1,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project by reaching out to their Facebook page members. WWP is a nonprofit which provides programs and services to injured soldiers returning from war.  Great use of social media – talk about webbing for good. Go Spyder!

We’ve all seen coaches get doused with Gatorade after winning a championship, or a celebratory dunk over the crossbar after a touchdown. These moves are not just overplayed, they’re so 2008. Check out Integrity in Youth Sports’ blog where they break down the Top 7 Lamest Sports Moves After a Big Play. So what IS cool as far as celebratory maneuvers go? Can’t go wrong with a good old-fashioned high five … and who can resist a well timed slow clap?

Today we’re excited to announce our revamped TeamSnap Messages tab. We’ve moved some things around and added some much-requested features. We think it’s a whole lot better.

First off, we found out that a lot of users didn’t know you could email or SMS text your team, because those buttons were under the Roster tab. So we’ve consolidated all of the communication functions under the Messages area. Now there are three buttons that let you choose between sending emails, sending SMS texts and posting messages to the message board. It’s all in one place.

Next, we added a few features:

• Save copies of sent emails and SMS texts. Now you can refer back to past emails that you sent, or re-send them to other people.
• Save email drafts. Not ready to send your masterpiece email? Just save it as a draft and continue it later.
• Bulk delete. No more deleting messages one at a time. Now you can simply check off the ones you want to delete and nuke them in one fell swoop.

Finally, we made the messaging boxes a little bigger, so you can type more text without scrolling.

Check out the new Messages area and let us know what you think. We hope you agree that it makes communicating with TeamSnap even easier!

The Open Angel Forum, which TeamSnap presented at in February, is coming back to Boulder on August 4th.  If you are a startup looking for money or an investor looking for great investment opportunities, check out the announcement.  Be warned though – the bar is high.  The Forum attracts serious investors by being very choosy about selecting the presenting companies.  And it attracts the best companies by only inviting active investors with funds available.  The result is a target rich environment from both sides: investors ready and willing to invest, and companies that represent attractive, high potential investment opportunities.  If you feel you fit into either category it is well worth your time.
