Placeopedia is a new site that allows visitors to layer links to Wikipedia articles over Google maps. The site is new so it doesn't have that many places labelled yet, but anyone that visits can make their contribution. I would be interesting to see Wikipedia articles layed out on timelines, genealogies of creative influence (for artists, poets, authors, etc.), or conceptual maps also.
If this takes off anything like Wikipedia, we could see our collaborative knowledge base having physical connections (Ed)
