Fresh research by Dopplr highlights the importance of sharing and recommendations in key travel decisions

The Dopplr Social Atlas is a new guide of guidebook, compiled and curated by the smart travellers who use Dopplr's web service. Their travel advice pulls together the interesting and useful things they have discovered along the way.

Dopplr - The Social Atlas is the new iPhone app from the makers of Dopplr, a web service for smart travellers. It puts the social atlas in the iPhone users pockets, bringing together tips and advice from thousands of smart travellers who have recorded the gems they have discovered en route.

Dopplr is a great way of sharing travel plans and travel advice, but not all your friends and contacts will take the time to check the Dopplr web site to find out what your plans are. The Dopplr blog badge makes it easy to extend the reach of your Dopplr account by creating a simple box showing your current and planned trips, which can be added to almost any web site or blog. The badge is customisable and flexible, and makes a useful, functional and attractive addition to professional or personal web sites.
