We'll be right back. Tested.com is getting an upgrade to be even bigger and better.    

Awesomely exciting stuff! Is Tested finally getting its long-awaited Wiki component? Are we out of the 1+ year long beta site?  
 
Either way I'm excited. 
 
Speculations?

I'd speculate it's nothing so grand or exciting, and is probably some back-end stuff that you won't even notice. Site's back up anyway.

Tested's lagging behind. Screened's had wiki stuff since launch and it came after. Will and Norm need to rage at Dave and company.

Personally, I don't see why Tested needs Wiki stuff.  If anything, I think they need something DIFFERENT than a wiki.  I just see a wiki on technology being a bit too convoluted and dense.

I thought that Will said they weren't doing a wiki because it would be too impractical to pull off for technology in general.  I think it would be something else that's being upgraded.

I have said even from the beginning of Tested that it does not need a wiki and I stand by that today, a tech wiki would be much to complex and to me it would be rather pointless. This upgrade was probably just back end stuff though.

@jakob187: I think it depends on what is implemented in the wiki. It could get crazy dense (and simultaneously, very sparsely padded out) if there is a page for every electrical component in history. However it might work better if it is specifically targeted at full consumer products (wiki pages for laptops, tablets, named computers, mp3 players etc), rather than each and every component which makes them tick.

They've said themselves that what they're going to use the wiki technology for is going to be different than the other sites, because a straight wiki for tech doesn't make a whole lot of sense.  Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be interesting, but I go to tested for the personalities, so it's a secondary concern.

Seems to be happening to Screened.com as well. It's probably just another hiccup like Tested.com's.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that message comes up on all of the sites when they're on maintenance. It's on Screened right now too.

I don't even drink coffee and I love their coffee segments :P They do plenty of stuff that isn't cell phones/apple/coffee.

@Laketown: I never saw it. I checked the site several times a day for a long stretch of time, and I found myself maybe reading one article out of every 10-15, and half of those were just generic info that wasn't very interesting.  
 
It's their site so they can do what they want, but I have zero interest in it given it's current focus.
