			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have some free time on your hands, or if you are feeling immensely bored during your holidays and wants something interesting to do, check out Myguidie.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MyGuidie.jpg?570cd5" alt="find interesting things to do" /></p>
<p>Myguidie is an online website, which can help users find new experiences and offers them interesting things to do. For example, you can learn how to bake muffins, or maybe prepare cocktails. You can offer people shopping advice, teach people or photo sessions for some cash or any good places in your locality. The website is also a lifesaver for people new in town and even tourists as you can have someone show you around all the cool spots in and around the city, such as the best restaurants, hotels and more.</p>
<p>All a user needs to do is make an account on the website, he/she is then required to pick an experience which they want to try out, pick the date when they are available, specify the amount of money they are willing to spend, select an experience category and book it. On that day, a local person in that area specializing in that field will help you out with whatever you choose.</p>
<p>You can also do the opposite, be the expert local, and earn some money from showing other people around, and teaching them new stuff.</p>
<p>Currently, the service supports popular tourists destinations only.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Free and easy to use.</li>
<li>Areas of service are gradually expanding.</li>
<li>Finding new and interesting things to do the easy way.</li>
<li>Making extra cash by offering your time and passion.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to online services that can forecast the weather, you will probably find lots of them. But if you want to know exactly the amount of snowfall a place will receive then a simple service like How Much Will It Snow is likely to be your best bet. It only works for the cities in the US and pulls its data from the National Weather Service. You just need to search for the city for which you want to know the snowfall details.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/howmuchwillitsnow1.png?570cd5" alt="us snowfall forecast" /></p>
<p>The site shows the snowfall forecast for the current and next day, and the amount of snow you are likely to encounter during your morning or evening commutes, which is quite helpful if you frequently travel out of the city and want to know the best time when you are likely to find the least snow.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Snowfall predictions for US cities.</li>
<li>Weather data sourced from National Weather Service of the US government.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tixik is an online travel planning tool that has a different interface than most other travel planners.  It presents information like hotels, tourist attractions, transport, etc in an organized way, all on one page. You may begin by searching for cities, and they have a pretty efficient search tool. It will pull up cities with the same names that you didn&#8217;t know existed. On the left sidebar for each city there are links that&#8217;ll help you discover more about a city and plan the trip accordingly.</p>

<p>There are 2 more interesting things about this service. First, it has versions in different languages, links for which can be seen in the footer and secondly, as <a href="http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/2012/01/personal-travel-itinerary-on-google.html">Google Maps Mania points out</a>, it has deep integration of Google Maps and you can use it to effectively plan your itinerary and do much more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Superfly is different than any other flight search tool as it doesn&#8217;t focus on finding the lowest priced flight.

<p>Superfly does everything that a flight search tool does, and more. It quantifies the reward and additional value you will be getting from each flight so you can make a more informed decision. You can also track your points balance through their simplified dashboard and see which percentile you rank in compared to other travelers.</p>

<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ExpertFlyer.jpg?570cd5" alt="airplane seat availability" /></p>
<p>ExpertFlyer does not sell tickets. What it does is let users know when to buy tickets, online or offline and keeps users up-to date about seat availability so you can buy your favorite seat the moment it becomes available.</p>

The PRO package, however, allows users to not only get seat availability alerts, but also gives them the best information on flight fares, search over 400 airlines, detailed seat maps, a mobile edition and more.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Free and paid plans available.</li>
<li>Never miss your favorite seat – buy it the moment it’s available.</li>
<li>Find the best fares and options through the PRO package.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s easy to find routes when you are planning a road trip. Google Maps, Bing Maps and others are there to help you with directions. OnTheWay is a tool that wants to tell you how boring or exciting your trip is going to be. It&#8217;ll tell you the restaurants you&#8217;ll find on the way, the towns you&#8217;ll cross, the attractions they have like museums and parks, and of course, the most useful one &#8211; the gas stations on the way. So it&#8217;s a neat way to check things to do on a road trip.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ontheway1.png?570cd5" alt="things to do on a road trip" /></p>
<p>Currently the site is only limited to the US, and works well except that the number of options it gives vary from route to route. Enter the origin and destination, select one of the routes it presents as options and you are good to go. It shows the map on the right and the list on the left.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Find what&#8217;s on the way in your road trip.</li>
<li>Easy to use and navigate.</li>
