I was thinking of creating a website like the concept I created here: http://doctorrescue.com/wap/index.php/Main_Page
I actually accessed that wiki through my cellphone and was able to navigate New York City with it, so I have tested it.
The basic idea is to have a list of cities from all over the world and then list the locations of the main sites to start. Like the New York page for example lists the exact location of Rockefeller center. No nonsense information listing locations and helping people from having to search all over the internet for a simple location.
I was thinking of registering the domain, guidetotheearth.com
I'm not sure if it will work out however and I would need input and helpers no matter from what part of the world you are, I'm sure you all have knowledge of different locations.
On the other hand maybe it's not worth it to try? I'd like to hear some input thanks.

If you need some stuff on San Jose and the Silicon Valley, Bay Area, maybe I'm your man for that bit of a region of the world. I just got back from Carson Nevada though... Hmm.

Thorn that would be great if you could help me out with that part of California. In a few minutes I'll post a new link to the wiki so we can experiment on it until it's ready for release.

That's an e-mail address I use. We can catch up a bit there.
Glad to help. I spent at least 18 years kicking around near there. Places or the sites of the places do you want?

I'm not really sure why anybody would want to use h2g2 to create a guide for w*k*.
You can access h2g2 with your mobile phone, even post here and everything.
Just go here for more info: <./>mobile-info</.>

Well the reason I created it is because it was a dream of mine when I was back in High School. Back then I didn't have the technical skills required to try it. I am actively asking the people I know to help with entries. Being part of h2g2 is a bonus since there are many people possibly willing to help out, it is a venue where smart people gather. It is not the only place where I seek people to write an entry. I am also aware that h2g2 is The Guide of Life, the Universe and Everything. The theme of my Guide is just being a Guide for tourists and virtual tourists at the moment.
