Travel Taste Featured on L.A. Times
Our latest feature for the traveling folks is the Travel Taste tool. We’ve found the tool to be a lot of fun, and were happy to read the Travel Taste preview on the Los Angeles Times.
Travel Taste lets you compare your taste with friends and gives you ideas of places to go and – take careful note – places to avoid! The lists of places are personalized just for you. Under the hood, the feature basically taps the collective wisdom of traveling crowd. The list of recommendations is calculated in real time, based on the the user’s ratings in the context of “taste clusters“. The more places a user rates, the more accurate the resulting list will be. Works for us!
Seems that it worked for the time-honored L.A. Times as well. They write:
TripSay.com is a fun tool that lets you rate destinations around the world, then offers trip suggestions based on the places that like-minded travelers enjoyed.
Well said. 
The full story is here.
Travel Taste gets even more interesting when you compare your taste and ratings with your friends. There will be surprising likeness and disagreements! Try it out at TripSay!
