It's not wiki. It's a pseudo-hypertext format (you get a choice of two
flavours of markup - bold and italic! - and links), and 1 image per
article. They also have information on businesses (eg. hotels, internet
cafés) so I don't see how it won't just degenerate into mindless spam.
Still, it will be interesting to see what happens, give the LA Times
recent experience.
