There are a number of San Diego nightlife guides, San Diego restaurants guides, directories of San Diego hotels... and of course the big aggregators of travel info, as well as the huge national travel guides (aol's, yahoo's, citysearch, etc).

    * The Specific Guides - I find these to be ok... but most of them haven't changed much in terms of focus, design (and usability), or interactivity (web2.0 people!) in years. I know how to glean information from these various sources well enough but I think they could all do a better job.

    * The Aggregators and National Guides - Large sites that don't really have any unique editorial content in most cases. Some that do, are somewhat complicated to navigate and really use as a resource. They do seem to often have a good amount of user reviews as they probably have quite large visitor bases.

What's Next in online San Diego Entertainment Guides?

I might just have to say that DiscoverSD.com is. There is obviously a lot lacking as the site is new, and has kinks to work out, and needs to grow a LOT to be a significant competitor. But, the foundation is right. The design is cool and refreshing, the layout and content are pretty much right on.
