Have a look at TravBuddy, a new play in the social networking space. I get the idea and I see that people would find some value in this. However, the User Interface needs a lot of work and the Google ads just makes little sense to me. If you run this venture, you want to increase average time spent on this site, right? The ads are not useful in this regard. The forums also do need some flavor. This is too dry for a travel play. Some promise here... but a long way to go.

Nice blog.. was referred to it by Marco Chan...
I think its time for Social Sites to do something different than just trying to "assimilate" people..
Social Commerce is the next logical step but can it be done is the question.
You are correct, the UI needs some more work..
