TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel community, announced that it has launched a traveler network that allows its 20 million monthly visitors to quickly tap into their most valued resources, their friends, to help them plan their travel more efficiently. TripAdvisor also announced that it now features 10 million reviews and opinions, up from 5 million one year ago.
“We think we’ve created a category killer with our traveler network. By turning our model on its head and focusing on the community behind the content, we’ve created a social network with a purpose,” said Christine Petersen, senior vice president of marketing for TripAdvisor.
“Wherever you are thinking of going on vacation… one of your friends probably has been there, recently. The trick to getting that great tip from a friend, is knowing which friend to ask. TripAdvisor’s new social networking features lets real-world friends connect and share those wonderful nuggets of advice, without resorting to spamming everyone you know with a generic ‘help me plan my trip to Barcelona’ email.”

Tripadvisor was always great cause they had so many reviews, but I also use other sites like realtravel.com and tripconnect.com. realtravel is more about people talking about travels and tripconnect is more like a network for travel advice. both are good. looks like tripadvisor did some of each.
