I can see the usefullness of the site as the recommendations are coming from the common person on the ground, also a great tool for mom and pop operators a great chance to get the word out on who they are and what service they provide. I still think the model needs a little bit of tweaking but I like the concept a lot

Great post. Another complimentary site is Tripntale (http://tripntale.com), where travelers can show off where they have traveled with maps, photos, journals and videos.

When will people learn that “reviews” on these sites are written by people that have nothing to do with you, usually don’t know what they are talking about (esp. restaurants), who consistently mis-remember their own experiences and worst of all, are often hired to write reviews by the businesses themselves? After browsing around TripAdvisor posts in my hometown, where at one point a sleazy overpriced nightclub-restaurant was voted a “TOP 10″ attraction, above many museums, I decided that I’ll use this kind of “guide” for any destination only as the last resort. Like, if there’s NOTHING AT ALL published, I’ll look.
