British Airways recently launched this online community that twins New York with London and is fed by a blog network. It's a social utility serving a niche (admittedly, a *mega*-niche) rather than a social networking site. Very pretty and great content (I would say that, my agency designed it), plus a buzz-based algorithm tracking user behaviour and sentiment, and dynamic 'charts' of the best places in both cities. Bloggers and online communities are the real local experts - it's what many of us now look for when researching a destination or trip - authentic, intelligent recommendations, filtered out from the wall of noise, spam-sites and search cheating. Good relevant blogs (and the most relevant pages within them) are particularly hard to find. Have a look at http://www.metrotwin.com and let me know what you think.malbonsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03297881594238918776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396963185395737945.post-10394546028253124262008-09-25T17:16:00.000-04:002008-09-25T17:16:00.000-04:00Check out http://www.tripwolf.com, it is a recently launched travel 2.0 website - a social travel guide that covers the whole world, and a good resource for planning your trips<BR/><BR/>It includes a travel community where users can share their experiences and offer tips and recommendations.Jennifly Sparkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11635255993325022115noreply@blogger.com
