Keep track of your Family Travels and Adventures


GoneGoing is an evolution of the travel blog. It is named after those who have Gone somewhere and want to write about it, and those who are Going somewhere and want to read about it.

Have you ever looked at a travel blog website and thought "there's a wealth of information in there, but no easy way to find what I'm interested in?" GoneGoing was created to solve that problem.

Imagine you're going on holiday. Maybe you don't know where you want to go, but you want somewhere with extreme sports activities, and also some culture. You want somewhere that people aged 25-30 would recommend, and you're going in November.

With GoneGoing you can quickly specify all this and more, and matching travel blog articles are dynamically updated on a map to show only what you're interested in.

Once you've found an area of the world that interests you, zoom in to further filter the results. Finally, click on individual articles to read about the authors' experiences and use their combined wisdom to plan your perfect trip.

The exploring interface is the main feature of our site; however the best interface in the world is still worthless without content. Therefore we need travel-wise (or not so wise) people to help contribute to our site so we can grow into an exciting new community.

Your travel blog can contain stories, photos and videos, and you will be able to receive feedback and questions through the discussion boards automatically attached to your articles. Integrated RSS feeds even allow your friends and family to keep track of your adventures. And best of all, it's completely free. Visit GoneGoing

Release Your Favorite Reads into the Wild


If you love it, set it free — if it's a book, that is. Register your favorite reads with BookCrossing.com, then release them into the wild for someone else to discover and enjoy.

Track your most cherished tomes (or the books you're just ready to pass along) across the globe as they travel from one reader to the next. Getting your book ready for its journey is much easier than actually letting it go. Just create a free account at BookCrossing.com and have a BookCrossing ID number assigned to your novel, textbook, encyclopedia or whatever it is you want to share. Label it with the BCID number, then leave it somewhere. A park bench, subway station, coffee shop — anywhere you think someone will find it. That's it!

You can use the site to locate "wild" books, too. Search by city to see if any have been left in your area. With nearly 65,000 members in over 130 countries, there's bound to be a book close by! But if there isn't anything at the moment, turn to BookCrossing to keep you occupied with forums where you can discuss authors, characters and your favorite books in dozens of genres with other users.

Go ahead and share your love of literacy with the world — you may just get some book-love in return! Visit Book Crossing
