Wikia, a for profit wiki site created by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, acquired AirmchairGM for $2 million last year and got into the sports fan business. The site has been slowly rolling out new features. Wikia CEO Gil Penchina described it to me as “Wiki 2.0″ - because it combines the best features of open source wiki software with social networking features like adding friends, building a profile, meeting new people, create groups, etc. ArmchairGM also allows users to add “foes” in addition to friends, since a lot of sports rivalries are generated on the site. The company recently brought in the NFL as a site-wide sponsor.http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/09/04/wikias-airmchair-gm-wiki-meets-social-network/
