Tagcrumbs are places worth remembering
Let's face it: there are tons of online travel resources out there, and they seem to be growing exponentially by the day. It came to my attention that one of those millions should not be overlooked. Despite its rather unfortunate name, I found Tagcrumbs, a Germany and UK-based company, to be quite useful and informative.The premise here is simple. When you come across a cool place in the world (one worth remembering), sign into your Tagcrumbs account and tag it by location. You can then write a little blurb about it, adding specific recommendations if you like. Each Tagcrumb is connected to a specific location and has some tags added to it. That way you can easily search for nearby places that are relevant to you.
The site will eventually provide a way to send your tagcrumbs to your friends as well as upload new tagcrumbs from your mobile phone.
Ultimately, Tagcrumbs is a comprehensive site that allows you to organize and share interesting stories, opinions and insider tips with the world. Right now, it's just getting started, and while notable places in the U.S. have yet to be tagged, I could see this resource really taking off with the proper publicity. All this site needs is a little incentive for users.So go ahead: get to it -- Tagcrumb away!

Hi Brenda,
thanks for the post about Tagcumbs. It's great to see that you liked the site.
We thought a lot about the name and I have to admit that it is not really intuitive. However rather than choosing a web2.0 type name with many vowels we tried to explain the concept with it.
"Crumbs" is what Haensel (of Haensel & Gretel, the fairy tale) left to find the way back home - definitely a place worth remembering :). And for the tags: these are keywords which you can assign to your places to organize them more easily...
