A Digital Life: According to Netpop I Play, a new report from Media-Screen, broadband users spend an hour and 40 minutes (48% of their spare time) online in a typical weekday, and more than half of that is spent accessing activities related to entertainment and communication.

Food & Wine Wiki: Food & Wine magazine has teamed with Wiki community site developer Wetpaint to launch a destination, which will collect user recommendations on where to eat and shop for food and wine along with articles from the magazine.

Yapta: Yapta, the airline fare bookmarking site that we covered a few weeks ago, is now in public beta (which means you can try it out). Find a fare, bookmark it and watch the price. If you book the fare via Yapta and the fare goes down, Yapta will remind you to ask the airline for a coupon or refund.

Sorry, We Are Not In Right Now
Thanks for checking out our blog, we really appreciate it.
However, our blog has moved to http://travel2dot0.wordpress.com/
Sorry that you have to visit another site to find us, but it is worth it...we have all of our 'classic' posts and comments on the new blog, plus a ton of new thoughts and ideas.
Why are we moving? Basically, Blogger failed us and never responded to our emails and requests. A clear example of poor customer service...too bad, we liked Blogger.
Come over and see us on the new blog.
Regards,
Troy and Mo

Travel Trends - Wikitravel, Yapta, StumbleUpon
Wikitravel: Thousands of travelers contributing and building a world-wide travel guide. Based on the same technology, a wiki, that is used on the ‘encyclopedia’ site, Wikipedia.
http://wikitravel.org/
Yapta: Still in beta testing, Yapta allows users to bookmark airline fares and share them with others. The site will also allow you to bookmark and monitor fares from Southwest and jetBlue, two carriers who notoriously do not participate in 3rd party sites.

StumbleUpon: Download the toolbar to your browser, enter some of your interests and click the ‘SU’ button to find new websites that match your interests. Think of it as ‘channel-surfing’ online.
