Recently, Mashables’s blogger Ben Parr has published an article referring to how users use social media for travel research.

He provides an overview of tips an tools for using social as a travel research tool. He recommends the following steps:

1.- Utilize Wikis and Blogs for Travel Education.

2.- Scope out locales using user reviews.

3.- Connect with locals.

4.- Share your travel experience.

We share the same vision Ben Parr does and we are working to make the creation, enjoyment and remember of a trip more social.

What about you? Do you use social media for travel research?

We have passed the second week of the development process. Step by step, all our work is making sense, so we’re really happy.

Once the Web architecture have been defined, we have been improving the prototype of each screen (every small detail need to be fixed).

We have also started working on the Web-design. We will share it with you as soon as possible. We just want to let you know that it has its own character.

We consider we are developing a competitive product and fortunately it will be launched soon.

Last Friday we finish the first week on the launch of trourist. As we told you in this blog, our “travel mates” are Linking Paths and La Personnalité.

It has been a very intense week in terms of work. The week began with a meeting with our “travel mates” to establish the working methodology. After that, we have spent most of the time working with La Personnalité defining the architecture of the Web.

We’ll keep you updated with the progress made.
