The site, in 2006
A Russian geographic wiki that put user-written notes on a clickable map, with the aim of marking every place in the world.
Users added over 32 million objects. It ran on Google Maps, and by 2018 the owners could no longer pay for that, leaving the site nearly inactive. In March 2022 it went offline, citing cyber attacks.
In 2006: Created in Russia in May by Alexandre Koriakine and Evgeniy Saveliev.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
