Qwiki - Wikipedia quick facts tour guide 1.0
★ Featured in "What's HOT"& TOP50 (Travel, USA) ★
Hey there, so glad to meet you! I'm Qwiki - a location based quick facts
generator. Let me show you around, introduce you to some spicy facts
on your current location and some pictures that were taken nearby for
better visualization. You think of me as your new travelling companion
who just happens to be a tour guide!
Are you tired of scrolling through full articles when all you really
need are a few short interesting sentences to help you know whats going
on?
Want the get some quick facts on your surroundings in seconds?
Too much data to process? No more.
I deal out quick and interesting facts concisely summarized from relevant nearby geo-tagged Wikipedia articles.
How is this possible?
I'm equipped with Advanced Positioning Algorithms, Text-Mining, Reverse
Geo-Coding and users' feedback to make your life easier by extracting
only the most useful and relevant information from Wikipedia.
You can think of it as if I read all the Wikipedia articles that
represent places (this took me some time!), wrote down the interesting
facts, categorized them, and then arranged them to be ready to be
presented to you at the click of a button as you stroll by. I'm always
improving according to your votes and the votes of others so tell me how
I'm doing and help me to make information more accessible and easier
to read for you and for everyone else.
