Travel.PopNets.com - Travel Goes Web 2.0

Keep daydreaming about white sandy beaches and Pina Colada’s in sunny Mazatlan and you’ll never get there. Thinking will only delay your would-be tan. Be proactive, go to Popnets' travel site to get the latest travel news from friends, family, professional globehoppers and road warriors. Travel Popnets is a no frills social web application designed with the savvy traveler in mind. Like all social networks, you can create your own profile, add friends, as well as search. Unlike other apps, Popnets lets you organize travel information too. You can put all your travel links into separate folders and organize them as you like—so a folder for food in Bangkok or Nightlife in Tashkent isn’t out of the ordinary. Once your folders are up, everyone in the community can enjoy your bits of travel wisdom for themselves.

“Popnets is a social web application that helps you organize, share and discover the most useful information on the web with your friends.”

Travel Popnets has potential to be a good resource for travelers of all caliber—from the wandering businessman, to the new age college kid setting out to find the meaning of life, to a music mogul. Forums like Flyertalk are incredibly popular; this just adds the extra social element to it.

Compared to a lot of social network sites, Travel Popnets is a bit lacking. Will their sparse design and rather tepid travel advice accrued thusfar, be enough to entice a following?
