I recently returned from an incentive trip to Puerto Rico and I had no idea what to expect. I could do a quick search on Google and find what I was looking for but I love the way Qwiki.com gave me a great overview and then I dove into what I was interested in seeing. I think this might be a great resource for meeting planners, video producers, or travelers to get a quick feel for the city they are headed to. You also can search around 3 million of the internets most popular web searches as mulitmedia.
Qwiki searches Wikipedia, google and other sources to bring you the overview of the city, what you can do, where you should go. It is a search presented in a multimedia form. Research has shown that multimedia presentations increase the recall rates. Something I need to have since my own recall rates have dropped off in the past few years. 
On deck for Qwiki.com is personalization features like custom alarm clock function that would provide you with weather and traffic reports. Quiki wants to be a new form of media. Much like the iPad has become. In fact Qwiki does have a new iPad Application.
Qwiki is also one step closer lately becasue you can actually search city neighborhoods and landmarks now.
I think it is worth checking out once starting in on travelling to a new city, to incorporate into brainstorming sessions, to find interesting things for attendees to do, and to embed as a video in any informational media.
