Travel Weekly Blog

The Guardian's Vicky Baker is travelling around south America using people she meets in social networking sites as her guide. What I found interesting was that this week she managed to hook up with someone through A Small World, which is a networking site for the rich.

That was some feat to get in there - unless Vicky is loaded.

And there are other similar sites too, such as Yacht6. It would seem that the long tail of travel, Travolution's ongoing project, is a wealthy one. Mercedes-Benz, for example, has just signed up to A Small World as a commercial partner.
