With the MLB baseball season in full swing, World Cup soccer kicking into gear and the NBA Finals heating up I think it is appropriate to shed some light on ArmChairGM, a sport resource site that any sports fan can edit.
ArmChairGM a wiki solution aimed at the sports lover and appears to be built on customized and AJAX enhanced version of MediaWiki, the same wiki software, which powers the popular Wikipedia and it's sister site Wikia. However, ArmChairGM takes interactivity a step further by also incorporated voting similar to Digg and comments which mirror blog comments to each piece of content.
According to co-founder Aaron Wright:
"ArmchairGM is a decentralized bliki - a blog and wiki combined with non-hierarchical editorial control (think Digg). We give passionate sports fans the ability to write blog entries or news articles, which are given depth by linking to our growing sports wiki, and have the results sorted democratically by other users."
