		<title>Where is my Travel 2.0? &#8211; Part 3: Users Add Value</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the first two parts of the &#8220;Where is my Travel 2.0?&#8221; series I talked about the long tail aspect and data-drivenness of online travel applications. In my today&#8217;s post I&#8217;ll write up some thoughts on Tim O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s notion of:

		<description><![CDATA[Today Jordan Chark published a list with 75+ US travel sites at Mashable. He recently wrote a similar post called Travel Hacking: Essential Sites for Summer Travelers. I link to these instead of updating and enriching my own List of Travel 2.0 and Social Travel Site.

		<title>Where is my Travel 2.0? &#8211; Part 2: Data is the Next Intel Inside</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last post I maundered about potential properties of  the eTourism&#8217;s Long Tail. Today, as promised, I will extend the discussion (actually it&#8217;s a monologue still) to another aspect of Web 2.0 Design Patterns, more precisely to what Tim O&#8217;reilly refers to as Data is the Next Intel Inside, meaning that most web [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where is my Travel 2.0? &#8211; Part 1: The Long Tail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unsurprisingly, people are using the web more and more for virtually anything including of course travel and holiday planing and booking. For example in Germany

		<title>List of Shopping 2.0 and Social Shopping Sites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post I enfranchised my travel bookmarks. Today comes the day of deliverance for all shopping bookmarks.  As before, the list is not very well structured and I do apologize for that.

		<title>List of Travel 2.0 and Social Travel Sites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some time now I&#8217;ve been haphazardly bookmarking travel sites and &#8211; since we are where we are and when we are now &#8211; most of them can frivolously be slapped with a &#8220;web 2.0&#8243; tag.
