If you're not familiar with our new travel site oistr yet, the labour of my life for the last year or so (and our programmer Sean Hudson especially) it is a map-based travel community set to launch soon. It is designed to bring businesses and travellers together, and inspire travellers to keep travelling.
We've formed a partnership with a company called OpenTable that will proived restaurant listings online reservations.
They have over 10,000 restaurants world wide with most of them in North America. This is going to be really great content for oistr because the restaurants not only slot right into the site but you can actually book them online through OpenTable.
We're investigating partnerships with as many companies as possible like OpenTable and Travelocity to give us the business content that we need for our site. Mutually beneficial partnerships are the way to go for a small business like ours.
Martiniboys is another company we are partnering with for content. Although Martiniboys won't offer booking they'll have the up-to-date nightspots with pictures for us to slot into the system.
The users themselves are going to be the largest source of content. We're envisioning a massive collection of travel experience form people that travel including people who want to nominate places and businesses in their own backyards.
For now though, our modest partnerships are putting a lot of content on the map for our initial launch and we hope that people enjoy the site enough to add their own.
