Off topic: Wikimapia
I heard a little blurb about Wikimapia on NPR’s All Things Considered on Dec. 28. Atanas Entchev blogged about Wikimapia last May when it first came out. It’s a site that lets you enter “stuff about places.” When I reflected about the site’s name, I had to chuckle a little bit. The word “geography” derives from the Latin words that mean “describe the earth,” which is exactly what this site is about. But I guess a site titled “geography” wouldn’t really fly in this age of cool-e-names. (Besides, geography.com, .net and .org are already taken…)
