There's something new on Teamtastic besides the slight site redesign (feedback welcome) and that is a new way to increase your team's image quota.

Now if you run out of image quota you can buy an image bundle or, you can write a story instead.

We launched a new site for the UK Ultimate association the other day. Check it out at ukultimate.com.

A big welcome to the UK Ultimate teams that have since signed up for a site with Teamtastic. We're right here if you need a hand getting started.

You've got dozens of accounts on different websites. You probably use the same username and password at most - or forget them all the time. Or... you have an OpenID instead.

An OpenID lets you use the same account details *safely* at different sites, and speeds up registering for new sites.

By popular demand, YouTube videos are now integrated with Teamtastic. How does it work? Well all you need is the YouTube video ID of the video you want to publish on Teamtastic. Then click 'create video' from your Teamtastic menu and paste the video ID in.

There is a new addition to your team your team's picture or icon.

You can now upload a picture of your team or your emblem to represent your team on Teamtastic.

Initially you will see the icon on your user profile - next to your team memberships on teams' Network pages and in the team directory. We'll be adding it to other places over the next little while. Edit your team's homepage to add the team icon.

Teamtastic now has Mates and Private Messages. You can add any Teamtastic member to your Mates list.

Mates are not just your team-mates, they're your mates in any team across the site. Your Mates list is similar to a friends list on sites like MySpace. The Mates list shows on your user profile page, and lets you see at a glance what your mates have been doing on Teamtastic. Of course you can browse from your mate to their list to see what connections they have.

It's been a busy week at Teamtastic HQ. We've added a new feature, 'Network News'. This lets you see the latest news from other teams in your network from your team's homepage, making it easy to keep track of the teams you support and play against.
