#2This could be very interesting but without some of the "big names" (RE: Google Maps et all) participating I'm not sure it will be more than just a few people participating in an interesting concept open content database.

Anything that's either going to be taking in a large amount of relevant data (such as GPS applications) or has an installed userbase large enough to warrant inclusion in the "big names" that I specified above. It doesn't have to be major companies but there has to be enough data to make contributing to it worthwhile. It's kind of a catch-22 that is solved by either industry wide grassroots acceptance or a big name player coming in and providing the initial data.
To use my previous example, if Google dumps most or all of it's map data into this endeavor it gains a tonne of legitimacy. Otherwise your just a little fish in a big ocean of data that people are holding on to and refusing to share.

#10I love local-style apps like this so so much, so I'm like "OOOHHHHH time to try this out," but I don't quite know what to do with it yet.
I have a bunch of geotagged photos of interesting buildings in SF and NYC on Flickr already, and I'd like to add some of them to the site to tell other people about them, but I don't know quite whether to add them as places or things. I added one, but the TOS saying that they can do anything with what I upload makes me hesitate a little bit before adding bunches of stuff...
I thought about adding myself, but the "I want to add" interface just tells me "a place" or "a thing" right now - not sure if that's intentional?
I'd like to see "everything in New York City" or "everything in San Francisco", or even "everything in California", but I don't seem to be able to browse that way; I keep fighting with the autocomplete!
So I'll wait a bit on messing with it more; looking forward to how it shapes up.
