Some cool sites that I couldn’t resist blogging about today:
Oodle is a new search service that scours several auction and classified sites including eBay and Craigslist. Oodle is now available in Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco and boasts “over 220,000 new listings this week.”
Edward Hasbrouck, a “travel guru,” offers all sorts of advice on how to get travel bargains, where to travel, and even how to get more time off from work for travel, including “quit your job. Get a better one when you get back.” He is also a vociferous advocate for the privacy of travel records, which he says are being compromised in the Internet age. (Philly.com)
Lonely planet. Click on “worldguide” to navigate to one of Lonely Planet’s extensive country guides, then browse the categories that cover costs, activities off the beaten path, and how to get around. One of the best features is called Postcards. These are notes from travelers about the things they found important to know when going abroad, such as how to jury-rig a bucket toilet when things go bad in South America. (Philly.com)
