Very useful article. Collaborative city guides like ourfaves.com, which is based in Toronto, allow people to search for hyperlocal niche content, like ‘spa day,’ ‘downtown hotels,’ or ‘best French fries,’ so travellers can get real-time recommendations, and share their city experiences with other like-minded reviewers, all the while avoiding tourist trap restaurants and roach motels.

thanks a lot for this useful list. I am checking tripsay.com right away. I also find the joobili.com concept very interesting.
But with the plethora of travel 2.0 sites, it’s becoming hard for people promoting a destination to “target” which social networks should they be in …

@Vera

We love Fodors! But just to clear up a misconception, the majority of our Thorn Tree members are middle aged or older travellers. The independent spirit is ageless, of course :)

Thanks for the hat tip Ann, we appreciate it!

In forums, the Fodor’s forum provides a place for the more , ahem, ” mature” traveler. While it is still about independent traveler, it is people mostly past the hostel stage of travel.

For all the travel enthusiasts in Europe, take a look at http://www.joobili.com. They were recently featured on Mashable.com and have won a few recent awards in Europe. Their mantra is: You say when, we say where.

Travel agencies and accommodations should definitely be taking action on these websites.

Ann, what do you think reaps the most SEO benefit out of these websites?
