Tripwolf Launches a Nifty Travel Site

tripwolf-logo TripWolf is a social site for travel, loaded with all kinds of goodies, like map mashups, people-recommended sights to see, friends and “trip gurus” to add for specific places, journal/blogs for your travel experiences, and the ability to meet up with other folks as part of your travel experience. I did a reasonably fast pass through the site and found it loaded with all kinds of information and facets that would make your holiday travel plans a little easier.

The other things I noticed that seem cool are Facebook integration, user-added info (kind of wiki style), geo-locative data (codes everything nicely), pictures (and you can upload yours, of course), and maps. Great maps that you can print, actually.

It’s backed by a larger European travel company, but it has a very standalone startup feel to it (the site, at least).

All in all, a decent launch for travel season. What do you think about it?

(I got word of this via a nice email from Jennifer from Tripwolf).

    I really like this site. I definitely like being able to share travel stories, and also take advice from other travelers. I have not used any other travel sites, but this one certainly gives me a good sense of community.

    Travel sites never do much for me. They always seem to be a combination of people who travel just to show off and newbies asking dumb questions.

    This site sounds helpful, particularly at the front end when planning a trip. I also like http://www.travelblog.org, mainly because it’s a really easy site to upload photos to, nd it’s an easy way to blog. Hope you don’t mind if I give a plug for the blog I just finished via travelblog on a recent trip to Paris: http://www.mytb.org/CJinParis. Thanks again, and I will keep a watch on developments at tripwolf.

    I find the interface very clunky. I’ve used travelpod in the past but I think http://www.mylifeoftravel.com is the best of the lot for recording trips.
