It's wonderful. Three cheers for Humuhumu! The interface is sooo much better than the clunky Locating Tiki forum here on TC. I especially like it for trip planning, searching, seeing what places are in an area, what places are near other places, etc. The only bummer is that Critiki is not collaborative. Apart from entering reviews (your "critiki's" :)), any other input you want to make; new sites, new photos, corrections to information; all this stuff has to go through the administrator. This is good because the administrator does a great job and everything ends up being very high quality, but it is also bad because the administrator invariably becomes a bottleneck. This is no fault of the administrator, mind you, it's just the nature of this type of web site. So, for better or worse, the TC Locating Tiki forum continues to be the most current and complete repository of information about tiki destinations despite its clunky-ness. I don't see this changing anytime soon either. Yes, a "Tiki Wiki" would be great, but with TC being the product of thousands of people over the course of nearly a decade and a half, it's hard to imagine another site ever catching up to or surpassing its content.
