Sports Illustrated Says ArmchairGMers Are The Sports Wiki Expert

Posted by DNL

I love it when a plan comes together -- Hannibal Smith, The A-Team

If you have a copy of today's Wall Street Journal handy, turn to page A20. It's a full page ad for Sports Illustrated's newest site, SI Vault. The Vault is a pretty cool project -- SI has put up all of their old magazine issues which you can "leaf through" online. Over 150,000 stories; 2,800 covers, half a million photos, etc.

And... a wiki sports encyclopedia, powered by you.

Yes, you. ArmchairGM is the wiki provider, and really, the SI Vault is just a scaled down version of ArmchairGM. The thing we went to bat for was the ability to feature you guys as the experts -- and that won the day. So, right now, the featured experts on the front page of ArmchairGM are also the featured experts on the SI Vault Wiki.

Check it out and rock on.

I saw that when flipping through the hot links to watch the AI video. I was scared that SI had "bought" AGM. But seeing affiliations and other associations on other sites I decided to wait it out for a day or two to see what the story was. And it's a nice story.

Not too sure Mommy Stiles is happy with that.

She gets to drink some... I'm not that greedy! (She's irrationally afraid of champagne corks but is somewhat confident around wine corks)

All of you are doing a great job. I am not even sure what a wiki is being computer illiterate but I appreciate those that are computer savvy enough to keep this site looking so great.

Don't exclude yourself, Niteowl. The correct pronoun is "WE", not "you". ;)

When it comes to the word "Wiki", it's basically linking pages with other pages. If you look down at the categories, you'll see blue and red words, right? If you click on the blue one, it'll link you to a page, and if you click a red one, it'll a give you a new link that makes you create a new page. It's also what I do to all of your articles. ;)

Quit wasting time with your "Magic 8 Ball" there Capt. Maximus Obvious Stiles. Get working on that book so I can have a reason to go to Borders. Sorry about your Owls by the way.

This is outstanding. Except I can't possibly take anything seriously if it counts me as an expert. That's strikes 1, 2, and 3 right there.
