SciFiWire splits off from SciFi.com
Sci Fi Channel's SciFi.com has spun off its daily entertainment news section into a standalone site SciFiWire.com. The news blog will continue to focus on pop cultural news related to the Sci Fi and fantasy genres, covering movies, books, television shows, comics, in what appears to be a much more navigable site, although their RSS feed was down at the time I looked. A few familiar names have popped up here and there in the early posts, most notably Scott Edelman, Craig Engler, and Adam Troy-Castro.
If memory serves, SciFiWire was originally the email newsletter published by Engler back in the 90's, when SciFi bought him out and put him in charge of the digital division. Now they're spinning it back out again. You explain it.
The satellite site is the third new launch by SciFi.com during the past year, following the debuts of gadget blog Dvice.com and gaming site Fidgit.com. So it's trying to be Obsessable, Joystiq, and... well, us.
