ArmchairGM, which came to the limelight last year after Jimmy Wales’s Wikia acquired it for $2 million, has now added a host of features to be recognized as one of the well balanced social networking sites for sports enthusiasts.

Some of the important web2.0 features are adding friends, creating a profile, meeting new people, create groups, etc. Since, ArmchairGM is developed in line with Wiki’s open source software; the users can read, write and edit sports-related stories.

Opening a free account at ArmchairGM, you can meet sports fans, play picture games, create and participate in polls. You can also rate your favorite players and teams. These are the common features.

I visited their site and tracked two interesting features.

1.You can add a user as your friend or foe with a personal message. It is something like sporting sprit and a new way of interaction.

2. There is gift system. You can gift your friends. The gifts are the images. It is the most unique feature to attract users.

Another obvious feature is Sports Encyclopedia where you can find the profile of the renowned players.
