Wikihood

Once again  as I stumble around the internet I have come across another application for smart phones. It is called Wikihood. Wikihood uses your current location and then tells you what is around you either historically or what ever is on wikipedia in your current location.

Using Wikihood you can get on the spot answers to questions like:

What persons are most relevant to this location?

What rivers, mountains are in the area?

What companies are located here?

What museums or famous buildings are nearby?

Wikihood's ultimate goal is to organize the world's knowledge - stored 

in the Wikipedia - for any location worldwide, accessible to anyone anywhere.

Specially designed for mobile devices, 

Wikihood gives you fast access to the data 

you need by intelligently showing you 

articles according to their

- distance ("What is next to me?")

- relevance ("What are the most prominent sites?")

- popularity ("What do people like most?")

People can help build wikihood as well. You can help rate how accurit the site is as well as add any information about that area as well.
