MetroCommute starts work on a Chennai City Guide

MetroCommute is proud to start work on a Chennai City Guide to provide details on various aspects of Chennai.

This guide does *not* focus much on aspects already part of Wikipedia. Instead the Chennai City Guide strives to be a hands-on guide to people new to Chennai city.

Some important differences with respect to Wikipedia and Chennai City Guide...

Wikipedia is not a directory
Chennai City Guide may maintain information that can be termed as a directory.

Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal
Chennai City Guide is also not a manual, textbook or scientific journal, but a guidebook it is.

And unlike Wikipedia, the guide does not block out information on lesser known entities/aspects, nor does it strive to remain at a neutral point of view. Because, one cannot recommend what one believes to be the best set of shopping centers, cinemas, hotels and restaurants, without having formed a personal liking to those that are recommended.

Do feel free to provide you feedback on our initiative.
