Vibe AgentA couple of days ago an invite landed in my mailbox. Hurray! I fumbled around in the site a bit. I think at present VibeAgent is the ultimate Web 2.0 hotel site. It is worthwhile visiting!

VibeAgent is a community that shares hotel reviews on the one hand and combines that with best price searching on the other hand. It names its members as Agents, who write reviews on the same.

The site has teamed up with an impressive list of travel and hotel portals at the back end, like Price Line, Booking.com and many others. If you want to write a review about a hotel somewhere, VibeAgent comes with an impressive list of hotels in the area you chose. All automatically and truly Web2.0 alike. At this stage 83.000 hotels are accessible.

You wont be able to trace any advertising on the site, which brings out a big advantage as for instance on TripAdvisor a lot of bandwidth is taken by all the ads.

On the other hand it acts as a Meta search engine for all the providers of accommodation. A sort of portal to the portals.

I noticed it has a big advantage above other sites that generate user reviews, if you participate you can communicate with the fellow reviewers. Hopefully that filters out the biased reviews. In the meantime the number of invitees is growing exponentially to a couple of hundreds. I am curious to see if they can meet up the requested bandwidth ultimately.

How will VibeAgent manage to cover its costs? It will receive a percentage from the bookings made.

Well we will see and I will keep you posted.
