Every WiFi spot that has been mapped by a WeFi user has its own Spotpage. The spot will show as mapped by the member who first mapped it, and should be registered to the owner of that wireless access spot. If you own a WiFi spot, you’ll soon be able to customize your Spotpage. Tell the world what’s going on at your local cafe, or upload your family pictures. (You can even use Flicker to upload your own photos, or any photos associated with that spot’s location.)

Very soon you will be able to see local reviews, events, and other users’ experience of the WiFi and spots around you.
