Mapsack- European Web 2.0

Mapsack reminds me of yellow arrow, an application that let’s people who are travelling leave information for those who follow.
Whereas yellow arrow has a focus - locations that have a connection to art, culture and history, Mapsack is more of a bundle and I’m not sure if that’s right. All businesses need focus.
There are now dozens of UGC travel sites too, though admittedly many are written by hardcore travellers. I know one that markets itself as a user-generated site when in fact they employ six part time writers. But such is the ugc buzz.
For me the strength of mapsack would be if they white labelled it to tourism authorities and got people to provide coverge of their own areas - e.g. give it under a white label to Galway city or Cork or wherever but give it focus where there’s a need.
