A step closer to an annotated world

Locative wikipedia entries are now on Google Maps. Here for example is Google Maps with Wikipedia annotations for my bit of London.

And so we move another step towards an annotated world, in which I simply point my phone at things - buildings, parks, streets - and ask "what's that?"

(The other big Google Maps news, currently limited to the US, is of course real estate search - which brings us down a different road altogether in which I point at buildings and ask "how much do you want for it?")
