Gogobot: new social media for travelers

Travelers are often facing the problem of researching information about where they want to go, in what hotel they are going o stay, where they are going to have diner, and in order to find details about their destinations, they often look at reviews (such as trip advisor) and they read what Travis Katz (founder and CEO of Gogobot) called "anonymous stranger's" reviews or posts. In order to solve this, and to have personal recommendations instead of anonymous ones, the new company Gogobot gather informations of your friends on Facebook and of your followers on Twitter so that when you have a question about one of your destinations, you will have answers from sources you know.
Reading this article, we understand that Facebook and Twitter are the two essential tools you need to have on internet and they are even more important because with these social medias, you will be able to access other rising networking place. 
Networking is no longer the story of Facebook and Twitter only but they are the access door to other tools.
Gogobot tries to take advantage of you Facebook and Twitter accounts in order to improve your research and to have trustworthy sources for your trips.
An other way to define this new company, could be the social media for travelers, because you have informations and you can gather datas from your friends and followers but not in a general way and not for everyday life but for a specific product, your vacations.
