A new social networking site goes into public beta testing today with the release of TripSay.com. The service, based in Helsinki, tries to be a site also serves as a connected and personalized social community for documenting a traveller's experience and sharing the information that matters to them. But Tripsay enters an increasingly crowded marketplace; it's far from the only on-line community-creating social networking travel site. A group of young Germans has created tripwolf, while also emerging are driftr, hereorthere, yowtrip, and uptake (formerly kango). There's also dopplr, tripit and brightkite. Tripadvisor is considered the grandaddy of them all, and Mobissimo, the meta-crawler or travel-shopping comparison site, added MobiFriends in July, letting shoppers compare notes as well.
