Consensus?

So have we done enuff homework n are sure that the idea is worth investing in? If yes, I think maybe we can start by setting up a simple website without stuff like servers yet. Juz to start to let the "insiders" start contributing with text or maybe photos. If the response is gd then we'll think of the next step. If not, at least we can review what went wrong before we invest too much. 

As a note to the nature of this collaboration, my view is that we shldn't expect it to fly too quickly as the past few wks have shown, none of us can really commit alot of tum to it. High expectations might result in disappointment and the project will be abandoned soon. Instead, I think that since it's an online project thus most actions can be done online (discussions, research or even getting the actual website going), we just return to check this blog once every two days for an update and do watever actions to push the project slowly. What do u guys think? 

Anw I have invited u all to publish posts through emails. So pls check ur emails n start posting!

Another one!

Here's another one! http://www.europe-travelers.eu/About-us This one for European destinations onli but use Google Maps such that for a location on the map there's a photo and video introduction.

Existing travel sites

So far I've onli found one open source online travel guide which is the www.world66.com. Very informative but texty. Cannot share videos but got shared photo gallery. Not very strong sense of identity I feel. Also it's all the travellers' comments not the insiders. U all found any?
