There are plenty of Facebook clones for travelers on the web, but these three rise above the rest.
Matador Travel: A sprawling internet metropolis of travel, Matador Travel has a little bit of everything -- from professionally-written guides to socially-connected member blogs. Check out the trip reports for the inside scoop on your destination, use the planning tools to map your route and be sure to sign up so you can impart your own wisdom when you get home.
TripIt: TripIt wants to organize all your confirmation e-mails from travel agents, airlines, hotels, etc, and turn them into an itinerary. Just forward the e-mail to TripIt and the site will categorize them for you -- you don't even need to sign up, Tripit will automatically create an account when you send the first e-mail. TripIt also boasts a burgeoning community of travelers -- organize an airport carpool, hook up with locals when you land or server as a guide for fellow travelers headed to your area.
GeckoGo: Newcomer GeckoGo has already attracted a thriving community full of travel guides, photos, comments and suggestions. GeckoGo caters to independent travelers looking to escape the package trip hordes. Be sure to check out the "answers" tab, which acts like a Yahoo Answers for travel. Post your questions and a travel expert, as well as the GeckoGo community, will chime in with answers.
