Vail, Colorado USA- Travelscream, the leading provider of travel deal distribution and social media marketing solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced a partnership with Where I've Been, a leading travel application provider and social network with more than eight million users worldwide.

The partnership integrates Travelscream's travel deals from thousands of global travel service providers onto Where I've Been's website and into the application, which has become a "profile must" on the world's top social networks including Facebook, Bebo, hi5, Friendster and MySpace. Facebook alone registers almost 900,000 monthly users, making it the site's second most popular application for travel and one of its top 20 most popular apps overall.

"This partnership grants Where I've Been users on-demand access to a wide selection of the best global travel deals available," said Tom Griffin, Travelscream's CEO. "At the same time, it offers unprecedented exposure for our clients through a unique travel content distribution and social marketing platform."

Travelscream's travel offers employ geographic and audience lifestyle targeting to give travel service providers the best opportunity to obtain the most value from their online hotel listings by reaching consumers at key decision-making moments during the travel research and booking process.

Travelscream deals also contain social sharing links, giving users one-click access to forward travel offers to friends within their online networks.

"Travelscream is a notably significant travel deal distributer when it comes to contextual and social networking integration," said Where I've Been co-founder and CEO Michael Dalesandro. "In recently becoming a full-fledged travel social network, it became obvious the fusion of both Where I've Been and Travelscream's pioneering technological platforms offered tremendous benefit and worth to the online customers we target - travelers and travel providers."

Where I've Been offers a detailed, fun, interactive world map that allows users to indicate where they have traveled, lived and would like to go. Users link the map to their social networks and can view and compare their maps with other friends utilizing the application.

Where I've Been recently unveiled powerful new features including an updated application, a brand new website, and a pronounced focus on aggregating local search information based on a user's geographic locality at any given time.

The new Where I've Been interface also allows users to delve into global destinations using the 'Discover' feature, giving them access to photos, videos, stories, reviews and advice related to a specific location, as well as a news feed of Where I've Been user activity in that area.

Travelscream's destination-specific travel offers appear in 'Discover,' within the 'Deals' section and as an editorially-integrated feature on the website's homepage called 'Best Current Deals.'

By becoming part of Travelscream's Travel Deals Network, Where I've Been joins an exclusive network of hundreds of websites, email newsletters, RSS feeds and other travel content distribution channels reaching millions of consumers worldwide.
