There is a new menu for 'Racing' and we've expanded the 'Sports' area with many more games.

You can now find:
- baseball
- bowling
- darts
- pool
and many more...

The Games menu is becoming BIGGG and you can play many different games now. When you do feel that there is something missing please let me know so I can have a look.

The new Pacman series (Pacman & Pacman Extreme!) can be found under the 'Arcade' menu.

There is much more to come so keep an eye on that area and for now... Enjoy!!

Facebook Live Notifier

In the last couple of days I've experimented with a new toolbar button, the Facebook Live Notifier.

It seems that it's a success! Many people like the option to manage your Facebook from the toolbar so it's here to stay.

What does it do?
The button allows you to gain direct access to your Facebook account. See if there are new messages, post your 'status' to your account and share links with your friends.

Where can I find this?
You can't miss it, the big blue button with the 'F' next to the Email notifier in the toolbar.

I don't have Facebook!
No problem, get one or simply disable the button through the Toolbar options tab so it won't take any space on your toolbar.

More information?
Of course ;). Visit the developers page.

Let me know if you encounter problems with this great tool.

All games are categorized now and new games are available. The list will grow a lot as new games are added frequently. See the new Action / Adventure / Sports or Card games among many others.

Have a look and enjoy your free time playing some of the games.

Back from vacation!

It's been a little quiet on the sporttoolbars side but that will change again, I'm back from summer vacation and will work on improving the toolbars and adding new ones real soon!

A small change that's been made to the Korfball Toolbar already is that the 'Worldgames button' has been removed. The games are over and The Netherlands took the win, congrats! The button was a good way to promote these games and on the next big tournament this setup will return.

Please email me or drop a reply to this post with site(s) you'd like to see up in the toolbar. Do you know a good RSS feed / good site? Let me know where you found it so i can have a look.

Please post like this to keep it organized:

Are you the owner: yes/no
More: anything you want to say!


All suggestions will be looked at but I can't guarantee that it will be added into the toolbar. Help Sporttoolbars to cover sport news globally 24/7 and share your favorite sport sites!

The International Korfball Toolbar is available

An other new toolbar is made public today: Korfball

Many of you will think 'what is this?'... I suggest you have a look!

Below is the official press release by the International Korfball Federation (IKF) who supports Sporttoolbars with this initiative.


--------------
The International Korfball Federation (IKF) is very happy to support the release of an international korfball toolbar.

The IKF feels fortunate that we can release this toolbar to coincide with the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung (TPE) which begins on July 16, 2009.

The Korfball tournament will take place from 17 - 21 July and will be contested by the eight countries which are currently the top IKF ranked countries in the world.

Sporttoolbars.com is not related to the IKF, however the IKF facilitates this toolbar with its support and will deliver content through it. Amongst others, there is a special link to the 2009 World Games and below that to the korfball tournament specifically.

This toolbar will bring international korfball closer to you by providing easy access and up-to-date information. All of the 57 national korfball federations around the world will be available via the toolbar as well.

The international korfball toolbar is available for download thru www.sporttoolbars.com/korfball

See the press release on the IKF website

Sporttoolbars 'Group' option


This is what sets sporttoolbars apart from other toolbar sites. The group option means that ALL toolbars from our site can be seen and used with ONE install. No need to install a few you're interested in and lose browser space.

On the left in your toolbar (next to the sport logo) you'll see a + icon. Press that and a menu drop down of all toolbars from sporttoolbars.com. Select one and you'll see that your toolbar will reload with the new sport giving you much more information.

In the picture above you can see the 3 toolbars currently available: Soccer, Korfball, and our default International Sports. More will be added in time.

Enjoy!

First Sport Specific Toolbar Released: Soccer International

Today we've released our first sport specific toolbar: Soccer

This toolbar will contain a lot of good Soccer news sites around the globe so you won't have to miss a thing! See the sport specific page for more information.

This toolbar will be added to our default one so both can be used with ONE install :)
I'll explain more about this in the Group post.

If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask.

Sporttoolbars.com is available! Bringing you worlwide sport news

Yeah! A new step for Sporttoolbars: The international version!

Sporttoolbars was founded 29 march 2009 for Dutch speaking clients. It turned out to be something that people really enjoyed so the decision was made to start working on an English version. Step 1 is now online :)

At this moment there only is one toolbar available, the 'default' toolbar which can be downloaded from our mainpage.

I'm working hard to make more toolbars available soon.

The thing that sets this toolbar apart from others is that in time it will be many toolbars in one. Each toolbar that is released will be attached to the live ones so you, our client, can enjoy them all by a simple 'group' or 'rotate' button.

I will place a lot of explanation posts up here.

for now... enjoy the first release and do hand me feedback! The toolbar can not improve without feedback :)
