It’s a story as old as the Internet itself, which admittedly isn’t very old at all. A group of friends get fed up with the content/service the old media companies are offering, decide they can do it better on their own, and start building a community. Dan at ArmchairGM sent me a note the other day letting me know about their project, and it sounds pretty cool: they are building a wiki-based sports community cover all the major sports leagues and college conferences, complete with news, commentary and franchise histories. It’s build on MediaWiki, the same platform as Wikipedia and many other wikis, so anyone and everyone is free to contribute. The Green Bay Packers section is looking a little sparse, so any of you Green & Gold boosters with a little spare time should head over and start filling in the gaps. (Say Dan, when the VC money starts rolling in, maybe you’ll remember the little people?)
