I travel a lot, I know a lot about web 2.0 and I think Schmap is a poor excuse for a website. Ripping of others images and using it on your site to promote yourself is weak. Schmap should be named Schmucks… Like you Jeff.

It appears that you don’t know much about Web 2.0, or haven’t actually left your computer long enough to do much traveling.

Your pat analysis of Schmap is naively critical – Anyone who travels and spends time in these places gets great value out of schmap’s functionality.

Someone who spends time overseas really does need information at their fingertips about Resturants, Nightlife Landmarks, Businesses, Hotels, etc.

Simply Using a search engine is a really piss poor way to cobble together data, compared to the efficiency of an online guide.

But if you have no life…I guess the details don’t matter.

It is not a bad piece of editing and assembling and it could be very helpful to potential travelers who are neither web experts or fully knowledgeable about the destinations.

Isn’t the nice thing about the web that there is something there for anybody? Why be a wet blanket?
