We agree on this. Please note the very first paragraph of my very first reply in this thread. What I am saying is that it's not productive linking to what you say "*any* page in the internet". An example of not being productive is the POI given as an example by the original poster: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/905883257 Do you find tags like these very useful to be put in the OSM database? (And storing these tags take much more space than the other "legitimate" tags.) link:berlin.de = http://www.berlin.de/restaurants/1646837-1622830-zu-mir-oder-zu-dir.html link:facebook = http://www.facebook.com/pages/_/325001280021 link:foursquare = https://foursquare.com/v/a/4adcda7af964a520e84621e3 link:google+ = https://plus.google.com/106569062506348263598 link:myspace = http://www.myspace.com/zumiroderzudir_bar link:partyearth = http://www.partyearth.com/berlin/lounges/zu-mir-oder-zu-dir-2/ link:qype = http://www.qype.co.uk/place/645 link:tip-berlin.de = http://www.tip-berlin.de/essen-und-trinken/restaurants-und-bars/zu-mir-oder-zu-dir link:tripadvisor = http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/187323-d942801 link:yelp = http://www.yelp.de/biz/zu-mir-oder-zu-dir-berlin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
