As Ryan Spoon detailed in his blog, Widgetbox has launched 29 network channels for users to join to share blog entries via widgets.  There are channels ranging from Fitness to Women, how it works is you register your blog in one of the channels and place a customized widget featuring stories from that channel on your blog.  This creates a viral circle of content between your blog and other blogs included in the channel, it is very slick and extremely easy to join.  So how does Yardbarker and the Yardbarker Network fit in?

Yardbarker is the exclusive provider for Widgetbox’s Sports channel.  Yardbarker’s network of blogs currently stands at over 600+ providing well over 10 million unique visitors monthly allowing Widgetbox to really broaden its reach into the sports category specifically young men 18 to 34.  Launching this Friday officially will be a gambit of widgets targeted specifically at sports including widgets by teams like the Boston Red Sox or by Sport.  I am very excited about this opportunity to get Yardbarker’s unique network out to the millions of Widgetbox users and feel confident that Widgetbox’s delivery system for widgets is the best on the web.  An example is below for the Red Sox.
