#19 Web 2.0 Tools

What a great range of Web 2.0 award nominees there were. In line with my blog theme of "On the Road", I chose "Travel" from the list of winners and selected the very impressive http://realtravel.com

This site is very well presented, easy to use and very comprehensive. Some of the features are browsing destinations by map, top 10 seasonal escapes, popular destinations, hotels and restaurants, deals, flights, hire cars, things to do, attractions and photos.

One of the best features is a forum to ask questions and discuss travel issues. There is also a trip planner and a travel blog, which allows you to keep a record of your adventures, for the benefit of others. The blogs I saw looked very professional, and along with the forum, contained a wealth of useful information and interesting photos.

Our Library Service could certainly include a link to RealTravel on its travel web page.
