Adding new information to the Wikitravel pages was something new for me, and I found it to be quite useful. At first, I was a little unsure as to how the site functions, but after playing around with it for a bit, it clicked. Each place is broken down into sub categories such as see, do, eat, sleep, drink, etc. We edit these and display our knowledge for all to see. The combined knowledge makes it easy for us to fully understand these places. Wikitravel has definitely been put together in a way that allows the reader to go through and get information efficiently and learn about even the most remote places of the world.
After completing my additions into Wikitravel, It dawned on me that Wikitravel has a strong use with the ecology “coevolution”, which is about taking our old technology and improving upon it for the better. Wikitravel users do this daily, since the information is getting edited, added, and deleted daily. Giving the user this form of communication, we have a great amount of space to work with, hence the success of Wikitravel. We are able to share our experiences and hidden secrets with the outside world. One thing I did notice was the lack of descriptions on the Wikitravel page. In my posts, I added a little description of what I was talking about, in an attempt to give the reader a sense of exactly what it is we're talking about.
