[WikiEN-l] Having fun with Google co-op

[Mathias Schindler]

Hi,

during the last weeks, I had very much joy in google co-op. You will
find the first example of this tool now online for public testing.
Based on Wikipedia's geographical information, you can calculate the
distance between two cities.

The google profile for this can be found at

A short description is at

When subscribing to this google co-op-profile, a search like
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=distance+from+tampa%2C+florida+to+boston%2C+massachusetts&btnG=Google+Search
should work.

I appreciate any feedback about this (feel free to forward it to your
friends, if you like). Please use the meta page for suggestions to
improve it. Please continue to tag the articles with metadata such as
geoinformation. Thanks again to anyone who has already helped in this
project. There is more to come.

Mathias
