I’m now convinced. Not every good idea has been taken. World Wikia, inspired by WikiTravel, is building the largest directory of travel information that anyone (yes, locals & travelers) can edit. I first caught wind of this a few weeks ago, but didn’t pay close attention. Just this morning CNET.com posted an interview with World Wikia’s founder, Bill Kaufmann.
“We had the whole [world] in front of us with nothing to do but do nothing and be comfortable.”-Mark Twain
For the same reasons I love (and hate) TripAdvisor — another favorite resource of mine — I think I will love World Wikia. Even though it’s important to read a writer’s view on a particular part of the world before traveling to it, I’ve found it even more rewarding to consume the average traveler’s tales, too. If it wasn’t for sites like TripAdvisor and now World Wikia, we could still be following Mr. Twain around the equator.
