The definitive weekend trip guide has arrived. 71miles is an online destination focused entirely on local travel, providing users comprehensive reviews, trip notes, recommendations as well as narrated videos by local experts.
71miles has currently launched reviews of the San Francisco Bay area, as well as other Northern California hotspots, and will soon release reviews for the Washington DC Metro area.
Launching with virtually no money at all, 71miles merged many API's together making use of WordPress, and the Google Maps API. The whole site is built on the WordPress platform, and might be one of the most innovative uses of the WP blog framework ever created. So innovative that the creator of WorkPress has even said he thinks it is the coolest use of the Wordpress framework he's seen. That's saying a lot!
By the way, this isn't just another web 2.0 name that means nothing at all, 71 miles comes from a statistic which shows most trips take place within 71 miles from your home.
