Uptake’s CEO Yen Lee likes to kid that he runs “the largest travel search company that no one’s heard of.” It’s not entirely a joke: At nearly five years old, Uptake has steadily built itself up to attract some 4 million unique visitors per month, which Lee says makes it the number three travel search website in terms of traffic behind TripAdvisor and Yahoo Travel. But the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company obviously does not have the same kind of name recognition as its larger competitors — at least not yet.

Travel Q&A gathers information from your Facebook friends to help you find the best people from your existing friend circle to ask about certain travel destinations and activities.
