2.0 Site Exploration

Imaginative title, huh? I chose to check out a travel site that I hadn't used before, Farecast. It seemed similar to Kayak, which I have used, but find convoluted and not as user friendly or straightforward as Hotwire or Priceline. I did not enjoy the fact that it opened site after site of its comparisons (like hotwire and orbitz) without my awareness. I only noticed when I glanced at the bottom of my screen. It did offer an interesting little nugget, a graph of price-comparisons of travel dates for the destination entered. This was a simple and visual (if you like that) way of determining the cheapest dates for travel. That aspect of the site was useful. I'm not sure this is a site I will use in the future.

  1. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that you'd hit the Travel category! You'd be the person I'd ask if I were planning air travel.
