Travel Guides by Wiki

In the book Steve and Byron wrote, they describe Wikis thusly:

A Wiki is Web site that multiple authors can control. Imagine a bunch of chefs working on a casserole. One is in charge of tomatoes, one the meat, and the other the cheese. After putting all the ingredients in and before it’s baked, a chef can jump in and add more spices, or remove some cheese, or whatever they feel will make the best casserole, even if it’s not their recipe. In other words, everyone has access to the file, and can change it to reflect their input.

Wikipedia is one of the coolest and most highly trafficked public Wikis out there. But the folks at Gadling are all aflutter about another one: WikiTravel.

Basically, it’s a guide for travelers written by other travelers. Want advice about staying safe in Tel Aviv or want to understand why everyone is laughing at you in Rome? That’s the sort of information you’ll find, along with a lot of touristy and non-touristy information about where to stay, where to eat, and what to see.

Happy travels!
