RealTravel vs Yahoo Trip Planner – David vs Goliath?

(updated)
The downside of being an Entrepreneur – you can never ever know how far your known or stealth competitors are doing the same thing …

Realtravelis one of the interesting startups that sponsored and presented at the 3rd. TechCrunch BBQ. It’s a social networking / sharing / information site for travelers, as the name suggests. Creative, useful, likeable – see reviews herehere, here, and  here.  How long can a startup last standalone with this kind of service though?  

Not very long, I’m afraid, reading John Battelle’s announcement of Yahoo Trip Planner.   What’s next for RealTravel ?  Could this photo be the clue?  Pictured are  Tom Gruber of RealTravel with Bill Schreiner of AOL, ironically under a Yahoo! banner 🙂
