Thanks to Girish, I was able to explore wikimapia and mark my location on the global footprint 
Go mark your houses and nearest landmarks….
PS: The Wikimapia is powered by Google (Google maps). But the feature to define your location for everyone to see is cool!

The feature looks cool and I marked my house in Chennai a long time ago. But, how does one allow others to see that specific place? Is it by browsing through the list of rectangles that are shown on the page? Or is there some other method.

Yeah! WikiMapia is a nice tool to describe the whole earth, but extracting the information in near future will be very difficult. I mean based on the tags and places.
Apart from that feature is very cool and you can locate anything everything!
Ramki - You can use Search city, search place and search tags option. So you can tag your house as Ramki’s house and give this tag to everyone to search instead of browsing the rectangles. Hope i m right if i understood your question correctly

Ever since my brother Balan referred Wikimapia to me I have become a sort of addicted to it. I find it not possible to edit tags when I make a mistake. Such wrong tags are likely to remain like the trash on the Everest.
