Si bien la propuesta no suena demasiado original, lo que distingue a Driftr de sus competidores es su interfaz, muy bien organizada. No sólo podemos publicar entradas sobre el destino visitado; también podemos separar la información por los lugares que hemos visitado, donde comimos, dormimos, o qué servicios turísticos compramos. Tal segmentación de la información le permitirá a Driftr construir una base de datos sobre destinos mucho mejor clasificada.

De acuerdo a los datos del mismo sitio, tienen publicados más de 2700 viajes y más de 33 mil fotos. Y ahora que están en beta pública, seguramente la cantidad de información crecerá en las próximas semanas.

]]> <![CDATA[Update: Flickr Pro and Driftr]]> http://onecityatatime.wordpress.com/2007/12/19/update-flickr-pro-and-driftr/ Thu, 20 Dec 2007 04:34:11 +0000 klew http://onecityatatime.wordpress.com/2007/12/19/update-flickr-pro-and-driftr/ I finished my thesis and turned it in to the university. Unless they have some major problem with it, or there is some administrative error/issue, I should be officially a Master of Science in January 2008. To celebrate, I upgraded to Flickr Pro using a free code I received for attending the San Francisco Engadget meet-up in September. I wanted to wait as long as possible, maybe until the new year, so it could be a pro account for the entire 2008, but I was worried the code might have had an expiration date. The first 200 people received a free Sansa Connect DAP (which people got by lining up 9 hours before the event), the next 250 people got a Flickr upgrade code. I kind of like this better, because I would have just sold the Sansa player on ebay (plus, I wouldn't have bought a Sansa Clip on Black Friday for $35). As a result, I've uploaded over 1200 pictures in 2 days (Zooomr is still not getting me what I want, though I won't quit on them). I've also started a Driftr account - it's a site where you can do quick-and-dirty information on a trip you've taken, and add pictures or link your Flickr gallery to the trip. I've already moved up into the top 5 based on uploaded pictures, and I have many more photos to upload. The only apparent drawback is you can only list one city at a time (Hah! See what I did there?), so if you took a multi-city trip (or a road trip), you have to pick one city or break it into more than one trip. Also, I started getting hits from Brazil via a referral to my post about the basketball-shooting robot (you may recall Discovery Channel website news also gave me a referral).
