TripAdvisor is a big (by startup standards), well established company, but we're a small, young team and built this feature in a startup timeframe (~ 3 months). Much of our effort was rapidly executing on some ideas of how to make travel planning more social, while coping with changes to Facebook's API's and their various announcements at f8. Now we get to leverage ~10 million unique monthly site visitors and scale for those ~5 million active Cities I've Visited users sanj mentioned. Sure beats fighting for 10,000 views while eating ramen.
We've heard many folks say they will "change the game" in travel planning, but only have some VC funding to show for it. Seems like you might want a product to go with those claims...
Consider the gauntlet thrown.
