Travel websites TripIt, Kayak, CouchSurfing make Time.com’s 50 Best Websites of 2009
If you can accept that 50 Best Websites of the Year is not a list of new websites, but Time.com’s list of their current favorites, then you won’t mind seeing sites that you’ve heard of before. Especially when it comes to travel. Kayak, TripIt and Flickr made the cut, but it was nice to see less familiar travel-related websites such as CouchSurfing, OpenTable and the California Coastline Project make the list too.
The 50 sites that are mentioned are definitely bookmark-worthy — many of them can help educate, entertain or simplify your online life. Set aside the next 10 weekends if you want to get acquainted with and proficient with your new virtual best friends.
Don’t miss last year’s list either. In 2008, travel websites Gas Buddy, TripKick, WikiTravel, and MapJack were listed.
