Well, it’s easy to say all travel sites are the same, but they are not. The travel industry is huge and many sites specialise of different areas (in response to #16)

It looks like to me, TripWolf’s main value proposition is the ability to create and print a personalized travel guide. And yes, it leverages all the social network aspects you will find in all travel sites (friends, trips, suggestions)

As far as the difference between it and Tripit and Dopplr:

Tripit is a travel organizer that creates one’s travel itinerary by forwarding your confirmation emails to them.

Dopplr is an online service that lets frequent travelers share future travel plans with friends and colleagues.

I get that question with YowTRIP all the time. By the way, YowTRIP is about connecting like-minded people to meet and travel together.

As you can see, four travel companies with different value proposition and for different audiences. Yes, you would expect them all to allow you to add trips, suggestions, have a traveler profile, widget, etc.

How do you launch a company called TripWolf without trips? I clicked on Trips and it says “coming soon.”

I would have liked to see some real meat here. Such as comparisons. How is this different than Tripit or Dopplr, for instance?

First of all I would like to say that this site definitely needs some work. At this stage it is merely a search engine that only searches travel related topics. Google does a much more thorough job.

Second of all, I would like to say happy birthday to Jason Kincaid, the author of this article. May all of your birthday dreams come true, you crazy blogger.

TravelGator has had all this (and a lot more) for a couple of years.

Travel social networking sites?

The best one so far seems to be WAYN, although that’s not saying a lot.

There’s also the heavily VC celebrity-backed Dopplr, kind of like the Pop.com of travel sites.

How many variations on this theme di we need?

thanks for the feedback, guys! Concerning the content: try our European destinations – we have dense info there already, thanks to the partnership with Europe’s biggest publisher of travel guides.
We know that content in the US is light still – and we’ll be working on that rapidly. You can help us: Add your favorite places right now!

Its a step forward in social travel sites but lke the article states it should be more indepth in planning. Its gots lots of good features, i really like how you can have your friends add in on the plan, but again too light on content.

CEO: I love that Firefox logo, I want our logo to look like theirs…but not too much like theirs.

Designer: But their logo is a fox.

CEO: Good point…better make it gray.

They should probably pull from Wikitravel, too; it’s a pretty decent travel guide for what it’s worth.

advice to tripwolf and ALL travel related social networks. homepage real estate is valuable and important, you don’t need to put a big google map there just to prove you are travel related….

This was in my mind since TC introduced it last month as i am a travel bug and really would support anything that makes my next trip(which is a bit rare) easier
