Tiki is really in the eye of the beholder, but my preference is definitely for the musty, dusty, dark & cluttered version. The full spectrum is represented in Critiki -- cool places and lame places -- because I want Critiki to be a place where you can check to see if a place is worth visiting or not. Sadly, there are plenty of "nots" in Critiki. Now for the latest Critiki updates: Comments! At long last, after many many many many many requests over the years... you can now finally add your own comments about locations in Critiki. Hurrah! You have to choose a user name for yourself first... now's your chance to snag your favorite user name before someone else does. RSS Goodness! There's also an RSS feed of the most recent comments, and you can subscribe to an RSS feed for comments for just one location if you want, too. And there's still the old RSS feed for the latest updates to locations. Update Critiki's Info! You can also submit information updates & corrections to Critiki -- each location has a link at the very top of the right info bar to "Update Critiki's Info". It sends the update to me, and I review it & get it incorporated into the location's entry. See Where You've Been! Another new feature is that you can now see a list of all the locations you've reviewed. It gives you a chance to eyeball your ratings, make sure they're up-to-date with your current opinions, that sort of thing. Uhhh, lessee, what else.... oh yeah! Links to Relevant Articles on Humu Kon Tiki! I went through all my Humu Kon Tiki posts, all the way to 2005, and added links to them from the relevant Critiki entries. For instance, the Tonga Hut's page in Critiki now has links to all the Humu Kon Tiki articles that referenced the Tonga Hut, including the Great Popcorn Caper. whew! Now to take a short break while I go to Tiki Oasis! OH! Almost forgot -- you iPhone & other mobile phone users: this has been a point of some debate, and I'd like to hear your opinion. Would you prefer if Critiki automagically detected that you were visiting from an iPhone (or other cell phone), and redirected you to the mobile site? Or would you rather I left it alone, because you're going to the main site and you want the main site, gosh darnit?
