The travel community site TripAdvisor is going mobile. But it’s not a mobile application they’ve launched, it’s a mobile website — “something completely different” in today’s app economy. 
The site (in beta) is available in 17 countries and 11 different languages, and so far it managed to attract more than one million unique monthly visitors, which according to the official press release is more than any other mobile website in the travel industry.
Users with compatible (and GPS equipped) phones can even find nearby restaurants, hotels and attractions, as well as directions to them. Moreover, you can contribute your own reviews and opinions to suggest some nice place or warn others about poor service you just received.
TripAdvisor’s mobile website is currently available in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, India, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Turkey. Additional countries and languages are planned for the near future.
To access the site, simply point your mobile browser to www.tripadvisor.com and you will be redirected to the “optimized for mobile” part…
About The Author
Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
