Thanks Tilman. It's nice to see apps using Wikipedia data. My personal favorite is FieldTrip[1] which is basically the same thing as Curiousity but with more data sources[2].

Since Curiousity is charging for the app, it would be nice to see them contribute back to projects in some way.

[2] Interestingly, the same people who made field trip went on the make Ingress which proves a virtual world is more interesting than the real world ;)
