I use Facebook most when I’m travelling, posting photographs & updates on my adventures, but since Gekko.com launched their Facebook app, I’m checking in with the social network before I go travelling too – for tips and recommendations from my friends. Gekko is one of the best know travel recommendation & booking sites out there, and this Facebook integration seems like a natural evolution for the platform as where else will you get reliable tips about where to stay if not from your friends? Use the app to post questions about where to stay & what to do, or explore the discounts & deals that hotels, bars & restaurants are offering to Gekko’s users. You can even request a deal if you find a venue you like, perhaps asking for a discount for a group booking – and this app allows the venue owner to respond with a targeted deal specific to you, without having to roll it out to the world at large.
