TripAdvisor: We Are Not Making This Up.

TripAdvisor's on Facebook (and there's a cool new map in your TA profile)

Now TripAdvisor's on Facebook too! We've posted a world map that lets you show everyone where you've been... and the same map is on your TA profile too. You can add destinations in either place. It's rather addictive to use (and it's lots of fun to see where your friends have been). Mad props to our developers for getting this out so fast!

Check it out here: http://apps.facebook.com/tripadvisortravelmap and in your profile on TripAdvisor.

As promised before, the snarkiness returns Monday.

Do you use Facebook? Add TravelPod to your profile.

TravelPod.com, a very cool travel blogging site (and, coincidentally, one of TripAdvisor's sister companies), just launched a new feature that allows Facebook users to add TravelPod to their Facebook profile.

If you have both a TravelPod and a Facebook account, you can add a TravelPod "patch" to your Facebook profile. It allows your friends to see a map of where you've been and links to your TravelPod blog and photos. More info is available here.

Facebook just released a development platform on May 24 that allows other companies to get their content onto Facebook, and the TravelPod folks have been working pretty much round the clock since then to make this happen.

Apologies that this is not in the Owl's typical snarky tone, but we just think it's pretty darn cool that the TravelPod team was able to do this in about one week, so we wanted to share it with the readers of our blog. (Plus, maybe TP will buy the Owl a beer or some field mice when they see this.)

Check it out-- it's very cool.

We'll be back next week in regular snarky form. Have a great weekend, everybody!
