RealTravel: A Useful Blog-Based Resource

So says Michael Arrington in his post RealTravel Trip Planner: Cut, Paste & Share Travel Tips:

Arrington says:

They now have very deep travel content - mostly written by users, and some from a recent partnership with Frommer’s. The site has an active community of tens of thousands of frequent travelers who talk about their experiences and freely give their recommendations via blogs, forums, photos, etc.

From what I can see, this site largely leverages content posted by readers in their own blogs hosted by RealTravel. I did find some posts about Seattle that profiled spots that I agree should be of interest, but the content for a favorite destination of mine, Sun Valley Idaho, were somewhat anemic.

I’d say business travelers headed for a major U.S. city would do themselves a service by heading to RealTravel prior to departure.
