Tourfolio

Ever wanted to get real-time travel updates from people around the globe on Twitter? Enter Twaller. This service uses the publicly available Twitter and searches relevant posts related to travel. It doesn’t get much easier when you find yourself in a remote location and want to ask fellow travelers on Twitter (via Twaller).

Twaller works by you logging into Twitter from Twaller’s website. Upon successfully logging into your account, you will be brought to web-based user interface that allows you to send tweets based on categories (e.g., Traveling To, Weather At, Staying At, Just Visited, etc…). I have to admit that the site is a pretty neat idea for travelers. My testing of Twaller led me to browse for recommendations on places to eat in Denver, Colorado (as I immensely enjoy skiing out there) in which travelers were tweeting about ‘the best sushi’ ever. I then decided to browse weather related tweets in Melbourne, Australia and quickly read that many people were complaining about the non-stop rain falling over the past few hours.

If you are into traveling, check out Twaller when you get a chance and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
