Shout-out to Frommers.com

      By: Emily Thorson  |  December 1, 2005

      I just wanted to say thank you to Frommers.com, which has unobtrusively become the best first-stop travel site on the web. Most travel websites are either far too specific (TripAdvisor concentrates almost exclusively on lodging), or give only superficial overviews (Rough Guide, Let's Go).

      Frommers.com is not an obviously high-tech site. There aren't user reviews of everything, or tagging and sorting and Technorati links. It just provides great content, for free--something that I feel like I see less and less of these days on the web.
