Can also recommend http://instabridge.com. The world's largest wifi sharing community. It's an app so works completely offline.

And perhaps he is right.. ~70 vs 0 access points in my area.

Nice, it would be awesome to be able to sort the cafe's in a city based on their internet connection speed.

Also, how can I get a WifiMask.com ad on your site? :)

I'm guessing I can only add places via the app?

I'm currently sitting at my desktop machine, but could easily add at least 5 Cafés with WiFi near Charing Cross in London. However, I don't have an android or iphone, so am unable to contribute.

Maybe letting people log in to the web version and let them add places? (and also maybe bulk uploads, i.e. every Costa and Starbucks has WiFi and it's trivial to get the location data for those stores.)
