Gogobot

This travel-planning app and website is already winning awards for its tribe-based approach to places to eat, stay, and play around the world. Let’s say you have an afternoon in Willemstad … or Oahu … or Rome. You check reviews from people you follow, and the app suggests more reviews from people like them, whether “Luxury Travelers” or “LGBT,” “Vegetarian,” or “Foodies.” That context turns their user base of more than 10 million travelers into a powerful network of helpful experts. The newest feature, Gogobot This Week, highlights local events in 15 cities that might fly under the radar of other trip planners. They’ve also got 60,000 city guides and more than 5 million photos and postcards ready to share. gogobot.com
