I just added my company. Now if I get caught surfing Digg, I can call it marketing!

Deleting companies is stupid. If you delete all commercial locations, your gonna have a pretty bare map. Considering no business entry is going to overlap anything else, it's dumb to remove any entry. Their mistake is that they don't let you set a category. You should be able to set private business, public business, private home, public area, etc. Then filter what you want to see.

err..why is the boston gas tank in harvard yard? Not even the right city (although the correct state)<a class="user" href="http://www.wikimapia.org/#y=42377691&x=-71117506&z=15&l=0&m=a">http://www.wikimapia.org/#y=42377691&x=-71117506&z=15&l=0&m=a</a>

Wouldn't this be really cool to use as a treasure hunt of sorts?Like a meld of the TV shows "The Amazing Race" and "Treasure Hunters" with geo caching thrown in. Only without all the airfare (or security lines)! One location provides a clue to the next, etc., until you find "Congratulations! You've found Waldo" or some message to indicate you've reached the end.

It's a nice idea, but unfortunately for them wiki sites are not typically as well policed as wikipedia is. No one cares about cracks in the sidewalk or where an a-hole lives, yet those places seem to be the rule not the exception. Without some kind of oversight, you'll never separate the wheat from the chaff, and 1,000,000 places is a helluva lot of chaff.

ooof, i found this far better than single google earth site (or say software)...coz its image i found far more original than google earth...after i knew this i stopped using google earth n even uninstalled it from my system. I sincerely thank to the providers of wikimapia, n wish them to continue it for a long range of time.
