The map is displayed exactly the same and I believe Trivop is much older than this new entrant. I believe this will be debated fairly soon. This website is strangely a copy of Trivop.com.

They have 50 vids now, so it will be interesting to see how many they have compiled in a couple weeks. I'm on the fences on this one, as it really comes down to how well their PR campaign is.

Perhaps if you got paid after someone viewed your video and then booked any hotel on the site that would help a little (revenue shared among the makers of all videos viewed?). As things stand, the most likely scenario for a negative review is if someone is so upset with a hotel that they want to make sure they get in the way of future business. That may happen, but I suspect will be a less common occurence (and obviously not inspired by the payment structure then).
