In Australia and USA, TripAdvisor is possibly the best known online reputation checker.

Fiji forums: Where is the best diving? - TripAdvisor"Fiji has terrific diving. For the best sites (I'm a diver and have lived here for almost 10 years) your best bets are: Beqa Lagoon, Kadavu Island, Taveuni and Savusavu.For a limited budget, I'd definitely recommend Kadavu. Check out Matava Resort.They are wonderful, have dorm rooms (plus private bures) and have a whole slew of activities as well.The owners (English and Americans) are right on site, and the dive masters and guides are great.

Neither of us had been before, so we took the open water course option (which includes 4 dives) and ended up doing another 4 before we had to leave. Incredible reef, coral, fish of all kinds - and very professional staff.

Kadavu Island forum: Snorkeling at Kadvu - TripAdvisor"I have been looking at reviews of various hotel/resorts on Kadavu. I have observed that most everyone mentions how great the diving is, but almost no one mentions snorkeling at all. I am drawing the conclusion that perhaps Kadavu is not a great destination for snorkeling as compared to other places in Fiji. Is this accurate or am I reading too much into this? If the latter, what resort would you recommend with lots of good/great snorkeling sites nearby and readily accesible?"Upapalmtree in FijiMatava- the astrolabe hideaway.

You can have a sneak preview at the new Tripadvisor site by browsing this “beta” microsite that TA globally announced today in its newsletter. The user-generated reviews’ giant Tripavisor (part of the Expedia, Inc. family of travel companies), decided to “create a new and easier to use” site. Kristen Nicole from Mashable previously published an article saying that people have complained about the cluttered homepage of the (curent) site. Look at those “before-after” screenshots I took and make your own opinion: A typical WEB 2.0 launch for this new version: As it has been said by Tripadvisor: It is a beta site! “Beta” means [Tripadvisor] is still polishing a few things! This beta version was first launched on the co.uk site of TA a few days ago, and it is now for everyone to REVIEW!

Another Google Mashup in the Online Travel Industry… Tripadvisor displays the hotels according to their popularity on the site and their availability (their price too?). It displays the number of reviews per hotel and the average price found among Tripadvisor partners. I hope it will be available in more countries and more cities (not just for the US). That’s funny to see that Tripadvisor only displays the average price of the hotel for the dates selected, they have chosen not to enter into the war of the aggregators that compare travel retail sites between them to retrieve and publish the best price found for each hotel.. google, google mashup, mashup, tripadvisor
