Hi
Ive traveled alot over the last couple of years and recently thought I use online travelogues instead of writing paper a travel diary. I looked at a few sites and www.travelpod.com seems a great site. You can upload pics, write your travelogue or blog or whatever and also map your trip on an interactive world map. Best thing is its free! Hope that helps. Zee dutchy said the following on 17/04/2005 18:16: Heya, planning on making an extensive trip in summer this year...

I used it last year to chart my RTW trip and found it really easy to use and share with my friends and family. I tried TravelPod also, but one thing I'd say about it is that you need to resize pictures yourself before uploading them, and also you need to pay quite a hefty rate if you want to upload more than 5 MB of images (around $1 for every extra MB over 5 MB). They also need you to pay if you want the ability to make your diary private, which is given as standard on Globenotes. my two cents. -- "I hear ma train a comin' .... hear freedom comin" |

Hi
I just checked out GlobeNotes but it seems that the standard account actually only gives you 2mbs space and if you want more that than you need to subscribe. Also you CAN make the diary private. Additionally you can set it up so that when u add an entry an automatic email is sent to the people on your address list informing them that you have updated your diary. this needs that you do not need to send individual emails to everyone. Although I dont know about the resizing in travelpod I agree that with globenotes you do not need to resize photos. However you still have to purchase more space as the standard free account only allocates 2mb as oppose to travelpod which gives you five. Personally I upload pics to webshots.com and then send everyone a link to the sideshow album. But what you could do is upload your pics to webshots and include this link in your diary entry. that why everyone can view your pics. Webshots.com is also a free service and you can specify if you want the album to be private or public. I guess you really need to see what each one offers and then decide the best for you.
