I agree that it is much better to post travel posts here on Steemit then it is on Tripadviser. However, finding information about places to visit is a bit harder here, since the search function is only based on tags. It would be cool if someone made a website that resembles Tripadvisor and links to all Steemit reviews and posts about that place.
I never said that. My experience here is different. I will still use TripAdvisor but I won't be posting content there any more. Steemit is a much richer experience for the author, in my opinion.
Howdy @eroche. What a great idea and post. Very informative for a noob like myself. I've been posting mainly photos or recipes, and sharing some interesting sites; getting my feet wet, so to speak. I have traveled quite a bit and also have my Trip Advisor badges but I'm really excited about the possibilities with Steemit (seeing as I am unemployed at the moment) and while I know very little about the technology of blockchain I like the idea of specific apps for specific topics, like photography, travel, recipes etc. I'm really pleased to be part of this enterprise and appreciate your sharing.

Congrats, you're in the top 2%, heres a bunch of nothing to reward you for your efforts. Yet another example of the corporation benefiting from the work of its users without giving back. A healthy system for them and a nice resource as you mentioned, but Steemit is changing the game here as well. I'll stick to Steemit moving forward!
You might well have started something, I think I'll join in with only posting travel reviews to here as opposed to on TA/other platforms where there is no benefit.
Nice post. I am also posting about all the nice place around me worth visiting. I work to much and don't get to travel. But I live in a good area for sightseeing.. Someday hopefully I will have enough money and time to travel more! And I believe someday this website will be much more navigable. Im sure its made improvements over the last year, and it will make more over the coming years
This is a great point, we may be on the cusp of some communication simplification, a turnover of internet sites, a flight from cable... a new coming of personal connection. SteemOn! @eroche@benjojo@steevc
I believe that the two are not comparable at the moment. Tripadvisor is a portal for trip advices... Steemit currently a container where some people are trying to make something to improve it as "Social network" and some other are only doing their best to get paid. Steemit is at the moment an unidentified object that may evolve in something great but:
It is still a beta
It has a very limited amount of features
People post daily silly stuff, but it is not Facebook
People post photos but it is not Instagram
People post trip/hotel/pub review but it is not Tripadvisor
I really like the idea that it can develop in something very very good, but I think that some actions need to be taken...
Then, can it evolve in something that may steal a big amount of users to FB/Instagram/Twitter/Tripadvisor? Well, maybe, but not to all of them...
Hi @gibiuk, you have made some good points. The main issue is that Steemit is still in beta. What will happen in the near future, is that apps will develop that only access parts of the steemit blockchain. For example an app for travel posts, which only accesses travel posts. An app for photos that only accesses photo posts, etc... The possibilities are endless. When this is streamlined we should see a slick user experience that not only rewards the users, creators etc but also has all the added benefits of a blockchain, namely uncensorable, free, open. I am not saying that this will happen immediately but I am really positive for the future and I cant wait to see where this steem train takes us.
Hi @eroche I am with you, I really hope that things will happen and will go in the right direction. What I also like is that Steemit is open to everybody, everybody can implement new features, fix problems etc.. and this brings in so many positive points. Let's see where Steemit will arrive.
PS. I am following you now, hope to have other informative exchange of views

Only a matter of time.
I found this link. Have you used this website http://mapala.net/, It looks interesting.
Imagine if things like Tripadvisor get replaced by Steem-based equivalents. It could happen
Wishful thinking.
You never know. All these things started small.
I actually agree. Something new on the Steem blockchain is the answer, isn't it? Can't be steemit?
Am with you there mate..but in steemit, the interaction is deeper and more interesting. I follow that crazy woman @budgetbucketlist, she's amazing!
She has some adventures.
Oh yeah..we are waiting for more ;)
Just say it already:
Steemit can't be tripadvisor.
I never said that. My experience here is different. I will still use TripAdvisor but I won't be posting content there any more. Steemit is a much richer experience for the author, in my opinion.
We are on the same page. Just having a little fun, you know :)
Cool @isteemjokes.
Hey eroche, really enjoy your Irish pubs project.
I am having so much fun with that. Thank you.

If you like posting in TripAdvisor, you will love steemit. :)
I already do, LOL.
wow.......!A series of highly organized and appropriate words, is amazing
Thank you.

With you there.
Yes I believe that steemit is going to be a game changer in this industry...
I am not so sure it will replace TripAdvisor, but it is a great addition to the space.
Yes, agree. TripAdvisor is more of a specialist in this certain niche, what steemit can do is to just add value to these niches.
You might well have started something, I think I'll join in with only posting travel reviews to here as opposed to on TA/other platforms where there is no benefit.
We will have to come up with a 100% original Steemit exclusive content badges :)

I'll check out your posts.
Trip advisor will eventually adopt Steem-like rewards. screen-cap this.
It may, catch up, I am sure it will not ever allow uncensored posts and reviews though. It will always need to moderate posts.
Steemit is on a public Blockchain. That is a USP!

Thanks @the-scuba-sherpa, Ill check out your posts too.
Im optimistic about steemit. Time will tell.
It's been a great experience so far.
