The social network for globetrotters Gogobot, also called the Pinterest of travel by some, launched a new, more visual interface last week.
For those who don't know about this service, we could compare it to a travel guide 2.0 : globetrotters or travelers can share their experiences by rating and commenting on points of interest (monuments, museums, restaurants, etc.). There is also a section allowing you to ask questions which is very practical for getting some advice and recommendations for preparing your trip..
The service, which now has more than a million users and has a new registrant every 15 seconds, has just launched a new home page that is similar to Flipboard's magazine mode. In addition to the visual aspect with large photos, the social aspect is very present because the site offers recommendations based on your network.
This social aspect is interesting because it allows you to avoid sorting through anonymous reviews that advise you to visit a certain place but to entrust this task to your friends..
In the same genre, the Trippy and Gtrot services can be useful for finding the location of your next vacation while Gogobot offers a more complete solution for discovering and planning your trips. We should also mention the French service TravelAvenue which allows you to organize and share your trips..
