Argh; Sarah Mitroff calls wikivoyage "a new travel-focused wiki" ;-(
and then continues to present Wikivoyage as a new entrant into this
space. "It’s a great notion, but Wikivoyage is coming late to the
already crowded travel industry.."

The article also includes a video of Jimmy on Colbert Nation hosted at
http://hulu.com which can only be seen in the USA (and Japan?).

This story covers the launch better, but I think it puts too much
emphasis on the lawsuits:

Anyone found a better wikivoyage launch news stories that is accurate
and can be accessed outside of USA and Japan?
