Dynamic Partner Content Widgets Added To Meridix Broadcast Network

Partner websites, portals, schools, and fans can now easily feature official live scores and other dynamic content from their favorite schools and teams right on their own websites.

Naperville, IL (PRWEB) April 17, 2006 -- Adding to its existing array of partner tools, Meridix today released three new dynamic content "widgets" that allow partners, webmasters, schools, and fans to feature live Meridix content on any website. As a result, fan websites, school websites, portals, and other internet destinations will be able to easily display live scores, news, schedules, and event information in "magnet" form directly from their favorite schools or teams. The release comes just days after Meridix completed major software and infrastructure upgrades intended to increase capacity.

The new "Remote LiveID Widget" provides a quick snapshot of an organization's profile information, current events, and upcoming schedules simply by hovering over a link. The "Event Ticker Widget" constantly scrolls through live and recent events for an organization, providing scores, team names, period, time, event name info, and more. The company's third new dynamic content widget, the "News Ticker Widget," displays the latest headlines from any LiveID in an organized format, with links to in-depth news items.

A minimal amount of work is needed for webmasters to include the content on their websites. First, webmasters simply insert a line of code into the head section of their HTML document. Next, they can place a line of code with LiveID tags whereever they want the widget to appear. Multiple widgets for the same or different LiveIDs can be placed on the same page. While the code for these widgets can be obtained by broadcasters in the MBP Online Manager and subsequently provided to partners, Meridix plans to make the code publicly available within a few weeks.

All three dynamic content tools update themselves automatically, without requiring the page to refresh. This means that users will see the absolute latest scores, news, and schedules without any intervention. New data is obtained directly from the network at varying intervals, from every 30 seconds to every few minutes, saving bandwidth. The company will introduce additional dynamic content components regularly during the coming months.
