The ArmchairGM Sports Web Directory?

Posted by DNL

Hi guys:

I figure it's pretty obvious that building a really great encyclopedia is freaking hard. So here's a baby-step that's pretty easy -- a community-powered web directory.

Rob and I are working on it right now, and we'd love you to help. Here's what we're doing.

Check out http://www.armchairgm.com/Lastings_Milledge#Web_Directory

The basic idea is to highlight key links around the web about the player in question. If you decide to help, please include the "Shop" section and the Affiliate Shop template -- we're going to automatically generate links to eBay, Amazon, AllPosters, and other places, but we figure we should take the 1% commission from it and try and limit ads in other places. You know, so we can build you more toys.

The web directory stuff should go close to the top, and we'd really appreciate your help in building it. Each player take about 3 minutes, but there are 1000s of players!

He's busy, and this isn't a programming task. It's a community one. The other thing we should do is get bloggers to help. If they have a really good post about a player, they can add it to the directory. But I'm too busy to evangelize about it :(

That's the only way I've been able to get people to fix the NFL schedules with me.

Earn Edit Points: Update NFL Team Schedule Templates

If I just eliminated the earn edit points part they would figure you wrote this and then walk away.
