Social Media – Changing the way we travel

I recently came back from an amazing trip to the USA.

It was the first time I didn’t use Tripadvisor or a Lonelyplanet-esque guide to decide where and what to do and yet I felt like I immersed myself in the “real” New York and San Francisco experience, not the Intrepid or Lonely Planet experience that most people have.

Foursquare – Drinking like a Local

Without a doubt many people reading this blog are users or have used location based services such as foursquare, Gowalla or Facebook places. Before this trip, I was a foursquare user but I wouldn’t of called myself a massive fan, more so an expirement to understand where this sort of technology was going. Whilst there was some benefit (a tip here or there) it wasn’t really changing my life.
