Is that what MacStumbler does as well? I understand the point about the wireless database (although they better be kept updated, otherwise you will plan to have coffee without Internet access), but that aside, I was referring to mostly to the widgets and such... I just simply don't see the use in having/installing them.
MacStubler is just a sniffer. A beefier version of the Airport menu. IIRC, it has the ability to "tag" APs you find, but not an official listing.
JiWire is a database of wireless hotspots. I think JiWire's db is populated by the AP's owners, not by user submissions. Think of it as a phonebook for APs.
I can't help with not seeing the value of a slim widget to replace a full app. I dig 'em.
