"Yowtrip.com, c'est un peu le copainsdavant.com du voyageur. Il propose de retrouver les compagnons de voyage avec lesquels on a partagé un trajet en train, ou un moment d'attente à l'aéroport. En quelques clics, le site recoupe la période et le lieu des vacances pour afficher les inscrits qui y étaient. Ah, et puis, ici aussi, on peut chercher un nouveau copain de voyages. Tiens, un jeune informaticien brésilien est seul à Genève. Il invite quiconque se trouvant dans le coin à le rejoindre pour la fin de son séjour."

Why it might be a killer
"Sites like YowTRIP are completely necessary for the solo traveler; trust me, I’ve been there. YowTRIP lets you make invaluable connections with real people who live in the places you’re going, or at the very least, have been there themselves. This is the best – and for me, the only – way to learn about your next destination, discover all the greatest sites and events, and learn about a new culture".
October 21, 2007: YowTRIP has been listed in a few well-known web 2.0 directories: Listio, Go2Web20, FeedMyApp
