Bumblehood To Be Yelp Without the Community, Like That'll Work
Another community-driven travel resource is entering the fray, and this one seems to be a cross between Yelp and WikiTravel. Bumblehood's goal is to provide full, user-generated travel guides. They're not exactly Yelp because they have "economy" and "history" sections that go beyond Yelp's urban business focus, but they're not WikiTravel either if only because their interface is slicker. Bumblehood is trying to be the best of both worlds, combining WikiTravel's focus on travel guides with Yelp-style business reviews.
There's something refreshing about a business review site that goes beyond Yelp's obsessive focus on friends, user profiles, and "Elite Status." Bumblehood's emphasis is instead on content, which is particularly helpful for travelers who need access to uncluttered information quickly.
