Wikihood World Release

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

Yesterday evening, around 11pm the english version of Wikihood went live, accessible to anyone in the world.
3 month after the initial german release we are happy to release the full wealth of the Wikipedia.
The english data (3 times larger than the german data) demanded significant architectural changes and a server migration.
With the new data comes a bunch of client improvements, last but not least a map view with intuitive navigation and image display.

The first requested location was: 52.552773, 13.406937

Shortly after that people requested lookups from the USA and Australia.
