Website of the Day: Tripbase


Updated 10/26/08 2:13 AM · Posted by GeekSugar · 8 comments

Trying to plan your next vacation but still undecided on a destination? Well there's an amazing website called Tripbase that will recommend various places to visit based on your vacation preferences. All you have to do is use the sliding scale to rate certain options like nightlife, dining, shopping, nature and attractions and Tripbase will give you recommendations about where to go on your next trip. You can also narrow your search results by including temperature preferences, price range and departure city. Once you click on a city, Tripbase offers colored photos of each location, population stats, the cost per day, and lists of places to eat and things to do. To learn how to post your favorite sites to the Website of the Day group, just read more

I know that this long list looks scary, but trust me, once you get the hang of it, it'll be a snap the second time around.

  1. First of all, join the Website of the Day group
  2. Click "Create and Share!" on the left hand side
  3. Choose "Blog"
  4. Give your photo a Title
  5. Leave the category as "general"
  6. Change the channel to "technology and gadgets"
  7. Add keyword(s) (for example mine for this photo was "Website of the Day")
  8. Click on the "Add Image" link below the "body" box
  9. A popup window will happen - click on "Browse" to find your image on your computer
  10. Once you have the image chosen, click "Submit"
  11. The popup will show you your image, choose size: "normal" - if you want, you can give it a title (which will show up as a caption)
  12. Click "Insert" and the popup will go away
  13. Your "body" box will now have some text in it. Leave it as is. If you want to add some text before the picture telling me why you love the website, do it before the code that has appeared.
  14. Click Submit

So join the Website of the Day group and share information about all of your favorite sites! Yours just might end up on the geeksugar homepage!

OK, I tried every single European capital as a departure city and it said that that city is not in their database... Guess this site just for US people? And a message keeps popping up: This is beta version, bla bla The idea is great, but they need to work on this technical small things :)
seems to be cool but I dont have the time to try it out

i can't say i really have the problem of trying to pick a place to visit. but then i don't have enought money to hop on a plane period. after reading what performita said, i wouldn't be too impressed. usually when people travel they want to go outside of the us....

Rachelface, they do have destinations worldwide, only the departure city must be from US... They still need to work on that page :)

Wow, cool site :) Girls, I just tried it out and I put a departure city of Paris, and then Barcelona both seemed to work fine. I got place all over the globe... Only problem is I wish I had more cash to go :( Loved the temperature setting. Time to start saving for the next adventure.
