Maps Mashup Shows Realtime Wikipedia Updates

November 03rd, 2007 | Category: Gadget News

Useless, but cool, this Google Maps mashup shows additions to the Wikipedia in REAL-TIME based on where the person is who added it. You can spend the afternoon looking at a map of the world, and evey few seconds, a speech bubble pops up with the name and location of the updater, with a link to the Wikipedia entry they just posted. It’s better than TV.
