FourWhere Useful For Travelers

Travel reviews are something I’m very interested in.  So when something comes along that has the potential to change the review playing field, I take notice. Such is the case with the new location sharing applications.

If you’re already a Foursquare user, you know that one of the most interesting and useful aspects isn’t people checking in at various locations, but rather the comments they leave.  Taking this to a new level is the just released FourWhere, which is showing great potential to enrich your next Hawaii (or other) vacation.  If you’re not already familiar with Foursquare, read this.

FourWhere is basic in design and ease of use, overlaying venues and comments from Foursquare onto Google Maps.  Right-clicking on the map brings up options, so for example you can omit venues that don’t have comments.  You can choose a city, like Honolulu, or perhaps more useful, a specific street or neighborhood to which you’re headed.

Foursquare, FourWhere, and other Geo location products represent a whole different take on comments and reviews, which are paramount to travelers.  If you haven’t tried them, I suggest you do. They are evolving very rapidly and formidably.  Next to join will be mammoth Facebook, with yesterday’s announcement of their intention to release new location-based tools and features.
