Plan your travel - TripAdvisor

If you haven't read previous article, you can read that first or just read this article. Umm.. I am rambling again. So back again, this article's about traveling. It's more like planning.

Have you all visit TurisLokal? There're some differences between this travel site. First, TurisLokal is about the travel destinations in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the TripAdvisor's more like planning your travel, accommodations and of course the destinations too. 

Second, TripAdvisor you can plan your entire trip, flight, hotel, restaurant in your destination. You can manage your budget with this site. At least you don't have to wander around and lost in new place. But TurisLokal you just read some articles that probably mention "how to get there" or "where's the restaurant". 

Third, TurisLokal only comes in Bahasa Indonesia. On the other hand, TripAdvisor is in many language, more than 30 countries. 

Forth, TripAdvisor has come with Mobile Application in iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. While TurisLokal only comes in website. The apps also free!!

Fifth, there's GreenLeaders Programme in TripAdvisor, so it identifies hotels and B&Bs that are committed to green practices like recycling, water efficiency and alternative energy. But there's no such thing in TurisLokal.

If you read it, you probably thinking that TripAdvisor has a lot to offer for traveler. I also think that way. But what I like about TurisLokal, it's made by Indonesian people. It maybe cannot compete with TripAdvisor, but hopefully it can reach Indonesian people. 

Anyway, which one would you prefer TripAdvisor or TurisLokal? 

Share Your Secret (w/ Mobile Apps)

Recently, I became so busy and forgot to post in this blog. Well, I have another in Tumblr. But it has a lot of post about One Ok Rock. I tend to go back and forth with this blog and the other. Anyway, I opened DailySocial for some news. Guess what it's about social media where we can post as anonymous. Hmm..

I found that is interesting. It's new concept. You can post to stranger without giving in your identity. You can freely post your mind. Freedom. Without the others to judge. They can judge but hey they don't know who you ar, pre say. 

As in the article, there're 3 mobile apps with that concept.

1. Rahasiaku - Berbagi Rahasia (Android) It was made by Polatic in Android platform. The language is Indonesia. But I confused because the category is entertainment. Since the other apps category is social. But the function pretty much the same. The rating is 5 by 7 people. I guess because it's new only 10-50 download. If you want to post here, you must register weather with email or facebook account. And the Pesan fitur or message fitur is not complete. Too bad..

2. Secret (Android and iOS) Secret is a new way to share what you're thinking and feeling with your friends. You can write anything that’s on your mind, free of judgment. Be honest. Be open. Be yourself. There're 100.000 - 500.000 people who had download this app. You have to register if you want to use it. 
   
3. Whisper (Android and iOS) There're 1.000.000 - 5.000.000 people who downloaded this app. It's bigger number than Rahasiaku and Secret. Whisper is an anonymous social network that allows people to express themselves, connect with like-minded individuals, and discover the unseen world around us. With Whisper, you can anonymously share your thoughts and emotions with the world, and form lasting and meaningful relationships in a community built around trust and honesty. If you have ever had something too intimate to share on traditional social networks, simply share it on Whisper!\

In my opinion, I rather use Whisper that Secret and Rahasiaku. Since in Whisper you don't have to sign up to post. But over all they offer same thing, anonymous post. Some with advantage over the others. Thanks for read this. Bye
