I have started a new category on WikiLens. It is "Charlotte Bicycle Shops." The goal is to enter all bicycle shops in the area and get users to rate them. Finding a shop that suites a cyclist's needs is not always easy. Different shops sell different brands, offer different services, open different hours and attract different styles of riders. Shops have a overlap in this areas. As a cyclist I usually am loyal to one shop. However, I do find the need to shop at multiple shops for various reasons. Often when I try a new shop I am comparing to pat ones and looking for the same "feel."
To start on a new system on WikiLens you have to create a new category and new items(shops) for that category. Not the easiest data insertion process... but what is?
Currently I have a reasonable number of the shops in the area entered and am twisting the arms of my friends to rate the shops. It isn't producing recommendations yet. But I don't have much user data so far and don't want to create fake data for it.
