Concharto is an online encyclopedic atlas of history and happenings that anyone can edit

What Company Is Offering:
Concharto is an online encyclopedic atlas of history and happenings that anyone can edit. It is a geographic wiki. It looks like Google Maps and works like Wikipedia. It has the all of the illustrative power Google Maps and all of the strengths and weaknesses of Wikipedia.

Concharto gives you simple and elegant answers to hard questions like "What interesting things happened near where I am driving? What happened near our hotel in Paris? What is happening near my town and surrounding areas? What was New York City like from 1858 to 1869?"

How It Works:

Concharto is a Geographic Wiki. Unlike virtually all other mapping sites on the internet today, Concharto is not about places - it is about events. Unlike Wikipedia, it is about small discrete bits of information, rather than comprehensive articles. Like Wikipedia, there is a complete history of changes to events. Anyone can add or edit information.
