That’s because it’s easier for them to get a cut of a $500 plane ticket than it is of a $50 meal at some out-of-the-way inn.

My buddy (and Odeo alum) Adam just launched 71Miles, a travel site focused on giving advice for your short weekend trips. Right now it’s just Northern California, followed soon by Washington D.C. and eventually all major US metropolitan areas. Unlike my copy of Lonely Planet Italy, which has sat untouched on my coffee table for two months, this is travel advice I can actually use.

It’s a very cool site. Check it out!

If all goes well Odeo alums could be launching three new companies before summer. Nice!

Here’s mine. Here’s three time O’Reilly author (1 2 3) and Grinnell alumni, Matthew Ghast, blogging about Australia.
