WR gets quite a lot of questions coming in from people looking to take some time out travelling from school or work, and as always we do our best to inspire and give sound advice; which could be why we’ve been mentioned by Best Universities as a Free and Useful Web Tool for Students Abroad. Their article covers everything from Government resources to sites that help you keep in touch, and WR is recommended in their Travel Guides section in the company of Lonely Planet, Frommers, Fodors and Rough Guides.

And the Web 2.0 Winner is:

Big THANK YOU to everyone who voted for us in the TravelMole awards: the awards ceremony was held yesterday in Canada House, James, Al and I attending, and we were very happy to win the Web 2.0 category and take home a rather pointy glass trophy as well as the greater award: the kudos of wining. It was our users and contributors who all helped get us short listed (thanks again!) but the final decision was made by an expert panel, and it’s always nice to be appreciated, especially all Al’s work on the lovely new-look site design.

World Reviewer - but even better!
Kat
There’s nothing wrong with getting older, as long as you improve with age, acquire style and get a bit more streamlined, learn how to communicate better with others, slough off the excess and just generally become a better version of you. Which is exactly what’s just happened to World Reviewer. To you we give the new and improved model: less cluttered, and easier to use on one hand, yet more powerful a tool on the other. All the quality reviews and content we’ve been collecting and collating for the past two years is still here, it’s just now easier to find, and more organically linked to the next steps our audience may want to take, and we’ve tried to lay things out in a more attractive way too, don’t forget.
As always we’re open to suggestions - that’s how we got this far remember, and a lot of the improvements for the site have come from user comments on usability and problems people seem to be having. If you can’t find something it may not be just because we moved it, it might be because we didn’t put it in the most logical place.
So here goes.
The big unveil:
World Reviewer - just a lot better!
Enjoy.And remember to thank Al, the genius, when you like what you see.
