Bumblehood – Access and Organize Information more Effectively

March 18th, 2009 by Social Guy

 

Bumblehood

Bumblehood is a community-driven wiki portal which contains a knowledge base about countries and cities worldwide, covering a multitude of topics such as geography, politics, history, landmarks, transportation, local businesses and others.

It is organized in a semantic, structured way which enables easy access to all relevant information, and adding new content is very easy to do through a WYSIWYG editor, all powered by the innovative BumbleMap platform. A vibrant, engaged and active community is encouraged to share their experiences with local businesses and services and submit reviews to help others make informed decisions about where to spend their time and money.
