WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Fabsearch.com

Fabsearch.com Before the Internet, travel enthusiasts would often spend time clipping travel articles from magazines. Many still do this but it’s not very organized or convenient. Then came along Warner Johnson, a Harlem-based entrepreneur who launched a new type of web-based travel service that the NY Times calls the first aggregator of glossy news. Warner and his crew spent months going back two years, reading old issues of Vogue, Tatler, British Harper's Bazaar, Daily Candy, The FT, Vanity Fair, W, Wallpaper, Town and Country, Elle and Elle Decor. They then listed that content on their website, so people could find information on where to stay and where to eat at destinations around the world. Any Internet user can peruse their offerings for free and can “clip” interesting tidbits and store them in an online file. If you missed something or want to write your own post, you can do so in your “My Clippings” file. It’s pretty handy; you should try it out.
