Trip Advisor vs. Travel Post

vs.

In my most recent edition of Budget Travel there is a blink and you’ll miss it comparison chart between Trip Advisor and a new contender for travel reviews, Travel Post. I use Trip Advisor almost exclusively when planning a new vacation or business trip so I was happy to find a new review source that though not yet at the level of Trip Advisor lets you source reviews by the age, gender and budget of the author. This makes it easier to find reviews from like minded travelers. I especially find this useful when helping brides source nontraditional locations for their honeymoon. Haven’t you ever wondered who is behind the glowing or downright mean reviews? Though you can’t take all reviews literally, I think it really helps to know some demographic information about the person behind the writing.
