More UGC Sites Favored By Google

Last week I highlighted some of the User Generated Content (UGC) sites Google now favors as an enhancement to listings on Google Maps.
Today I noticed a few more including;

Mapufacture.com (GeoRSS Aggregator)
Booking.com (Priceline Property)
VResorts.com (Virtual Tour Aggregator)
XSWeb.com (Resolves to Global Assistant)
SFInj.com (Hotel Info Aggregator)
Smugmug (Photo Site)
Road Runner (Google Search Partner)
RCI Destinations (Timeshare Reviews)

Added to the sites listed previously;

VirtualGlobetrotting.com
Platial.com
Wik.is
Navitraveler
Travelandleisure.com (not really a UGC site)
Propsmart.com (real estate)
Raditz.net
KeyHole.com (Google property)

It's a little confusing trying to figure out what Google considers User Generated Content but it is clear they like mapping sites. Major partners like AOL (Time Warner) get considerable play as well.
