Comments on: Review of Driftr – A Travel Social Network and We’ve Got Invites! http://www.centernetworks.com/driftr-review-travel-social-network Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:50:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Robert Keating http://www.centernetworks.com/driftr-review-travel-social-network/comment-page-#comment-15639 Robert Keating Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-15639 I look forward to trying out the Driftr site. I sent an email to the above address hoping to be one on the first 20. I have not heard from anyone since. Maybe the 20 spots are taken. Once the site is open to more people I will be checking it out as it sounds like it will be a useful site to use. When I do research in google I normally just find a site that is selling tickets. Not much good to me when I am wanting to write articles about destinations. Hopefully Driftr fills this gap. I look forward to trying out the Driftr site.

Hopefully Driftr fills this gap.

Driftr looks a bit more polished, has more users, and is more blog focused. Travature has a good flight search tool, plus more local focused reviews of restaurants and hotels which Driftr does not. Driftr has a great travel planner that Travature doesnt. Though I do like Travature's wiki format better for travel guides (but Driftr appears to have more content). In general, the two sites seem to overlap a lot, in the travel social network space, but there seems to be enough difference that they both could do well. Either way, I'm interested to see how these travel 2.0 sites evolve. Driftr reminds me of another travel social network site, I saw on Center Networks: Travature.com.

I'm planning a trip to South America and need to research some off beat locations. Perhaps I can get information here. Thanks.
