Ruba

April 30th, 2009 by admin

I just got turned onto Ruba by Bowman.  Wow.  Nice work.  It’s Yet-Another-Travel-Guide creation tool but they got one thing down - FAST.  And I mean speed of guide creation.  Basic Step-by-Step process but what I really loved at first was my trying to create a guide for Amsterdam and added the Dylan Hotel.  Immediately geo-coded the hotel accurately and then presented a set of pictures for me to add - all of which were obviously the Dylan Hotel.  Then, in order to save the guide, I was required to setup an account - or, naturally, login with Facebook.  One-click (finally Single Sign On?!?) and I was done.  Had to be less than 60 seconds start-to-finish.  Now, THAT’S fresh.

And as an update I just tried to find “Five Flies” in Amsterdam.  Frakking thing translated that correctly to the top choice - d’Vijff Vlieghen - one of most expensive taste-free meals I’ve ever had.
