Memory Alpha gets a great plug in this week's Entertainment Weekly magazine! It's issue #971/972, Dec 28th-Jan 4th. The cover story is "Best & Worst 2007".
There's an insert in the middle: "Best of the Web: The 25 Most Essential Fansites for TV, Music and Film Buffs". Memory Alpha is #11 on the list, ranking between Madonnalicious and Project Rungay. Here's what it says: *Star Trek > memory-alpha.org * *Launch Date* November 2003 *What You'll Find* The wiki-based Memory Alpha is truly the final frontier when it comes to online *Star Trek* info. Fans can quickly scan (and even update) news and TV listings, read articles on Andorians and Krieger waves, and further their Starfleet knowledge via complete profiles of minor-but-memorable characters (Boothby!) and starships (*Excelsior*!). *Why It's Essential* There are plenty of other *Trek* fansites floating out there in cyberspace, but Memory Alpha wins out for its handsome, intuitive presentation and its overwhelming mass -- it even has copies of the old * Trek* newspaper comic strip from the early 1980s. * Official Site* *startrek.com* If you're looking for info on J.J. Abrams' upcoming *Star Trek* film, don't bother. At least not yet. However, franchise episode guides and actor Q&A's are here for the taking. (The Minimate Spock will cost you $7.99, though.) -- *Adam B. Vary* Congratulations to the Memory Alpha community! This is well-deserved recognition. -- Danny
