#33 Travel 2.0

TripAdvisor.com is square in the middle of Travel 2.0 site. It is a social networking of real stories from real travelers and gets to the heart of the matter. You can post your own experiences like sharing a perfect day or weekend, even on a budget. It is fully interactive and expands via user-generated content. You can contribute words,images, reviews and travelogues. You are encouraged to add videos, travel wikis, mashups and blogs that enable comments which are also considered.
We have library patrons wanting to know which highway to take to a certain destination so that might be useful in our library. Some of my favorites were "Lost Girls" who were just tired of their jobs and decided to take a year long 35,000 mi. journey around the globe.
"Triporama" created a group homepage to discuss places to go and experiences to share. "Green Routes MN Grown", will find 1 of a kind places to eat, shop and sleep. In "Explore MN", I found Duluth to be a city of history for preservation of natural resources and wonders that make it such a special place. I tried the video out as well.
