Social Networking Sites For Backpackers

Mashable, a site dedicated to ‘social networking news’, has published a fantastic list of what they call ‘Essential Sites for Summer Travelers’.

It’s one of the most comprehensive lists of travel-orientated social networking sites that we’ve seen so far, and backpackers on the road, or those thinking about going would do well to take a looksee.

Some, like TripUp (formerly TripMates), and Travelistic, we’ve mentioned before, but there are a bunch of other ones backpackers are likely to find rather useful.

Go check it out.
