PlanetEye is a new travel site that uses Microsoft technology and partnerships with third celebration services like OpenTable and Travelocity to provide a ton of information about in one place. Just enter a destination and PlanetEye will bring up a map with a bunch of dots representing points of interest. Click on a dot to see shared photos from that location.
You can also click on the hotels, restaurants, or attractions buttons in the sidebar to switch from the picture view to something a bit more useful. Or you can turn off the map and click on the City Guide to bring up a list of places to eat, sleep, and visit.
If you’ve registered for a free account, you can save information you find on the site to a “travel pack” which you can share with other users or just use as a tool for planning your own vacation.
