Tripwolf Launches a Nifty Travel Site
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.
this site is really cool. I travel alot cause I travel for free so this is going to help. If you are interested in learning how to travel for free contact me.
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.

Nice concept. I am waiting for a trip/location service aggregator so I can merge all of them! Britekite, plazes, tripwolf, tripit, dopplr, etc. etc. :)
