On Demand Sports Stats from Twitter

// December 28th, 2008 // Journal

StatTweets is a service that allows Twitter users to pull statistics from sports service, StatSheet.com. When the #StatMe tag is sent to any one of StatTweets’ team accounts, a return tweet is sent with a variety of team stats.

When I sent the tweet @PennStateFB #StatMe, I got the following in return:

@MikeMacLeod PPG 40.2, YPG 452.2, TDs 60, Pass% 58.7, PassYdsPG 240.6, RushYdsPG 211.6, RecYdsPG 240.6, FGMade 20, FGAtt 24

StatTweets currently provides stats for the NBA, NFL, and college football and basketball.

There are also a number of options that can be included. By adding additional variables to the initial tweet, users can request rankings, splits, and future schedules. The stats for the previous or next opponent can also be requested.

Individual player stats are coming soon.
