I looked under social graph for my friends who have been to my destination and found that about half a dozen people have been there. I messaged them via Facebook and asked for any recs. I got zero responses. I could have just written on my wall and asked, “I’m going…any tips?” I feel that once someone responds, others follow with their tips and a semi-public conversation begins. Perhaps it’s too easy to ignore a Facebook message or maybe people just blew me off, or maybe it’s creepy to get a message that says, “I’ve seen where you’ve vacationed,” but somehow the social pressure of joining a conversation or feeling left out by not participating makes a wall post the better place for a conversation.
