WikiMapia: WikiPedia meets Google Maps
Take a look at this, it's a convergence of Wikipedia and Google Maps, their lovechild is Wikimapia. It allows you too zoom in on a location and then read about the places. Anyone can add compentary about the location. I added the Film and Television Institute, the nearest thing to us that was laready entered was a near-by skate park, dispelling any argument that the youth of today don't use the technology.
The converegence of mapping technology and television is not coming soon, it's here already, I recently helped recruit some filmmakers for a company who promote tourist destinations through a combination of web mapps and short video presentations.
How long until we have a treasure-hunt map based television program? The LAMP workshops at AFTRS have had a few projects on this concept. If it's not on TV by 2007, people are asleep at the wheel.
