SeatGuru - Your Guide to Airplane Seats and In-flight Amenities. Are Wikis the Best Format For Travel Guides? Wikia, a for-profit offshoot of Wikipedia, will announce the launch of a free, editable “worldwide guide of places to go and things to do” on Monday, called World Wikia. The content is very light for now, although for an example of how this might look down the road see their deep content on Roman churches. They will also announce a number of partnerships with commercial publishers to open-source their content and get it up on Wikia. Smartertravel.com and hostelsclub.com are two of the initial partners being announced. Another partner, Vacapedia, will provide access to their vacation rental database. Travel is a big category – if Wikia can pull off a large number of page views they’ll make good money on high CPC contextual ads, their primary revenue source. I imagine demand will quickly develop for a downloadable version of individual cities (or the whole travel section) for mobile devices – something that’s been available for wikipedia for some time.

On a tech tour of London, you can take in the best of the old and the new. After all, the very same Royal Society that spearheaded research in Darwin's day continues to foster a vibrant scientific community today. While most visitors concentrate on prominent tech-oriented institutions like the Science Museum, you can also learn about London's geeky past and present in more unusual locations. Antique: Kew Bridge Steam Museum Does your idea of London come from Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, or another Charles Dickens novel? Then get a taste of the tech of the time at this former pumping station, which Dickens himself visited in 1850.
The giant steam machines here supplied Londoners with water from 1830 to 1944. Timely: Clockmakers' Museum For a brief history of time, stop by this elegant one-room museum. Modern: New London Architecture Space Tired of checking out historical exhibits and ancient dungeons? Practical: The Thames Barrier What's hovering on the surface of the Thames?

One of the most fun things to do in Venice is to wander the back streets and alleys away from the touristy areas. This was how Maureen found the Vino e Vini enoteca in the Castello district. This friendly enoteca offered tastings of eight Veneto wines that it sells to neighborhood customers as 'vino sfuso da tavola,' or 'open wine' meant for immediate consumption. The wine is siphoned directly from large damagiane, which are 54-litre cane-covered containers, into 2-litre plastic water bottles. The wines included several whites -- Pinot Bianco del Veneto, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon and Tocai (our favorite) -- and two light reds, cabernet and merlot.
These wines were also sold in corked bottles. We recently saw that this enoteca is under new ownership and is now a wine bar called Enoteca La Caneva, located next to a well regarded restaurant, Ristorante Cantina Canaletto. We hope to get back soon to try them both out. Closed Sundays and Mondays, reservations recommended. Phone: (41) 5227024. Canadian Consular Affairs. Norwegian Coastal Voyage.
