$1,100,000 Social Networking domain

I stumbled upon this story about a UK-based travel agency's absurd purchase of a domain name with the intent to create a social network around cruisers and the vacations they go on. IMO a vacation-based social network would be great, I think the agency has some work to do in the area of design and marketing if they wish to see a return on their investment.

Actually I was looking around because I like the idea of a vacation photo/experience sharing site would be cool, and I found http://www.tripadvisor.com/ . I haven't played with it yet, but it seems like its a pretty good attempt at vacations 2.0.
