Hi Everywhere! matches travelers to local guides in their destination city and then encourages both to record their experience in travel journals.
Many social networks or sites that rely on user created content face a chicken and egg problem -- you need content to attract users and users to create content. Hi Everywhere! definitely has their work cut out for them in this regard. The service can only be useful if there are a large number of people in many cities willing to be guides. The benefit for guides, according to the site, is that "touring with foreigners let you rediscover your home towns." (sic) That doesn't seem like it will be enough to attract a large pool of guides worldwide. How many people really have the time to show strangers around town pro bono?
