How does the site look? This parameter evaluates the overall design and gives extra points for any innovative techniques. .
Not very impressive
This travel network site falls short in a lot of different respects.
The design was a little awkward. Parts were too spaced out and parts were too cluttered. It sort of felt like an awkward teenager.

How helpful is the content? Are there plenty of quality posts and reviews from members on the best places they have been, and where to avoid? .
We found a lot of poorly written content from both the site itself and from the users.

Who?s blogging? How many blogs are on the network, how up to date are they and are they any good?.
They don t offer the option for personal travel blogs and the blog they provide just seems to be one running advertisement ticker. We weren t impressed.

Photo stalking opportunity What are the photo loading options like, and more importantly, are there plenty of photos from others that you can check out to get inspired? .
There were thousands of photos but browsing was terrible you had to choose a city, that took time to load and then you had to click on thumbnails.
Maps: 2/10

Orientate yourself What mapping facilities does the network provide? Can you plan your route, let friends follow you on your way or check out where friends are headed? .
There were maps but they were buried at the bottom of the page and it was more of an after the search feature as opposed to part of the search .

They don't have many helpful links but you can use this site to link to other social networking and social bookmarking site like Facebook, Digg, Twitter, etc.
