As a travel buff, I'm digging on the new 43places social travel site, done by the 43things Robot Co-op folks. It's yet another Ruby on Rails site, cleanly designed and easy to use, and has the potential to become quite addictive. You can specify the places on your travel wishlist and find out what others have said about those locations, as well as flag the places you've been and rate them, relate an experience, and upload photos. There's also a - bless them - folksonomy component for tagging places, and a whole myriad of ways to find people you might want to connect with - because they're geographically close to you, they live in the places you want to go, or they want to go to the same places you do. Another way cool feature is that if you upload photos to Flickr, tag them with place names and use a Creative Commons license, 43places will pick them up via the magic that is web services. Now if you'll pardon me, I'm off to keep procrastinating feeding my wanderlust. See you in Tibet!
