The World Is Not Flat - Site Edition

I've known Lee LeFever for about a year now in person. He's truly a great guy to know and he's also quite talented at this social stuff ;) Lee's been planning a trip around the world for 2006 and he's launched an interesting social experiment in the process.

The World Is Not Flat serves as not only a media center for their future trip but also a gathering spot for world travellers with lots of experiences to share with these two voyagers. Here's a blip from the about page:

To get the most out of TwinF, notice that there are two basic things happening here:

• We're blogging the trip. The front page of the site has "Our Dispatches" which are entries we write about the trip. We are the only authors of the dispatches and they are browsable via Global Map and Keywords.
• We're asking members to share their experiences. We call these "Member Travel Experiences" and they are entries written by the members and organized by Country Pages. Our hope is that these first-hand experiences will help us (and others) have a better trip.

If you've got some great recommendations, I'd point you in their direction so you can share in the process. What's that saying, oh yeah, Knowledge is Power - share it.
