    FavTrip.com - A Geolocated Social Networking Site

    Some people say that Foursquare is a bit limited in terms scope since it lets you check in only at venues and places which are located in an urban setting. That is, there is not such a thing as a “Foursquare for the great outdoors”.

    Or is there?



    FavTrip is a new site that is there to step into these shoes. The expression that was just used above, “Foursquare for the great outdoors” is a good summation of the whole service. But there is something more that has to be added: the site has a heavy element of photoblogging. People who use this service are able to upload pictures of these places that they have been to, and that only makes perfect sense. A picture of Machu Picchu is breathtaking in every context. A picture of a teenybopper who is waiting in line at his local store for the latest copy of Halo is certainly not.

    And the actual rewards for using the site have a physical value, as you will be able to get your hands on gear and equipment for your next trip. The more active you become, the closer you will get to these.

    Favtrip.com In their own words

    “Check-in somewhere exotic.”

    Why Favtrip.com might be a killer

    It is good for a change, and it opens up a whole new array of possibilities. Basically, the site turns every corner of the world in a place where anybody can check in.

    Some questions about Favtrip.com

    Will the concept catch on? Are we going to see a proliferation of sites such as this one now?
