Travel Trends - 71Miles, Social Networking's Social Classes

71Miles - Half blog, half travel guide, 71Miles combines in-depth writing with the nimbleness of a blog to feature short, well-written articles on specific cities. Initially focused on Northern California, 71Miles combines (or mashes-up) several technologies, including Google Maps, Kayak.com, video slideshows and consumer comments to create a simple blog-post style travel guide.
