How many more so-called ‘travel 2.0′ sites can you find with the word Trip in them? Come on, we need loads more ;-)

How about a site for those wanting to stay fit when they travel. http://www.athleticmindedtraveler.com does that. different niche, no doubt. i’m in sales and my boss hooked me up with this site.

Hi Darren — I’m offering Home&Abroad (www.homeandabroad.com) to add to the list for Travel Inspiration/Experience. I work for H&A, so I’m biased, but maybe it also appeals to your travel 2.0 geeky side? :) Cheers . . .

How about some wiki travel guides Darren? Doesn’t get much more web 2.0 than wikis…

Hey, did I mention we launched one just last week? hehehe :)

Kirstyn,

nice site, but I am not sure it qualfies as 2.0

What do you guys think?

Garri is being very quiet for him :D

Hey Darren,

Noticed the blog post up in it’s entirety on Facebook notes. How do you get it to import the whole thing + photos when your feed only seems to serve the shortened copy?

Curious! :)

The RSS is full feed at the moment because it’s being syndicated in USA Today etc. I used the application on Feedbook, because I view all my RSS feeds in Google’s reader, and I click on an icon on which RSS posts I want to share, and it displays it on my Feedbook profile.

It’s good stuff.

List of Travel 2.0 and Social Travel Sites

For some time now I’ve been haphazardly bookmarking travel sites and – since we are where we are and when we are now – most of them can frivolously be slapped with a “web 2.0″ tag. As I haven’t seen many compilations on that top…

Well, I have a slightly different opinion. Most of these web 2.0 are becoming Hotel 2.0 apps! Every one is trying to just sell hotels & flight tickets.

It has to change. First of all the apps should be customer centric. Then, tune your businessmodel to meet customer needs, then you need not sell, they will buy.

In india, I just love travel blogs such as paintedstork.com, traverge.com and usually I do a blogsearch for picnic spots.
