Analysis of the action from utility point of view

Let us look at the article from a traveler point of view who is looking for some advice. The traveler in question is looking forward to his/her trip to Dalhousie. Traveler searches the internet to plan a trip. But there is no filter among the tons and tons of info available on Dalhousie. All places are listed as good and must visit. Hotels are as it is asking their guests to stay a little longer to discover unseen Dalhousie. So what options are available with the traveler, except to rediscover the wheel again.

The article in question lists of places with specific reasons as to why they can be skipped. Take for example Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary. This is one example of taking a detour of two hours minimum to reach a place where there are no wild animals in a sanctuary. There are two forest guest houses available to stay. Maybe the perfect place to stay in solitude, but again no wildlife. Not even birds.

So from a travelers interest point of view, full marks to the article.

Analysis of the action from bloggers point of view

Places to skip might not be a common search term on Google. But this is a new concept. From bloggers point of view this is a new idea. It might not get viral immediately, but the concept is fresh. It might actually spawn a new category of articles, where there is a filter in place.

Since blogging is all about interaction, it might actually start an analytical chain of action on a particular concept or product or idea. From bloggers point of view, such fresh thinking is always welcome.
