I haven't been able to update the site in the last week or so as I'm in the Himalayas in northern India where internet is deadly slow and murderously expensive, but in a few days I'll be back on the case and slowly adding more wifi hotspots for the cause. Thanks also to those who have added their favourite hotspots - keep them coming! cheerio, Steve@FreeWifiGuru Thanks Kirsty for publishing the mini-interview, and many thanks to all those who have responded with useful feedback about the site, especially to Colm who has raised some great pointers I will definitely be following up on in due course.

I've been thinking about exactly the same thing, but lacked sufficient data to make it worthwhile. I'll add some data as I travel and find them, the more the better. Good luck with the site!

What I would do with it: * Run it through YSLOW - it's loading times are a little high right now and it's probably losing traffic because of it. * I'd including some kind of information on the spots themselves, which appears in a bubble when you click on it. Most people will probably expect that because it's default behavior in google maps. * Introduce some sort of karma system for adding wifi hotspots. This is a nice looking website.

And maintaining it. Waaaay more work than creating the website. From my experiece with a similar website the crucial point is getting the data. And maintaining it.
