VibeAgent.com for finding hotels and social networking
VibeAgent.com is part hotel search engine and part social networking site for travelers.
What's hot: It has user reviews (they're called "agents") of hotels, offers lodgings based on 16 types (including "boutique," "lively," "quiet" and "rustic") and lets you join groups based on interest. I could choose an avatar -- now I'm blond and gorgeous.
What's not: The searches are not intuitive. I tried London but was told, "No hotels meet your criteria." Granted, I was searching for March 17 to 30, but I found it hard to believe that nothing was available.
 Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up. |
