TripAdvisor chief executive Steve Kaufer told us last year that the site would start introducing some major new features in 2007 - and users are starting to see a few of their plans.

The latest one is very interesting, but appears to have been introduced without any PR thrust just yet.

Registeruddy users can now upload their own videos to the site or browse others based on a tagging system that ensures either hotel, destination, restaurant or local attraction is assigned to each clip.

[Hat tip: Hotel-Blogs, which has gone thcoarse the process of uploading one of his own clips]

The move is a significant one, even if - we suspect - TripAdvisor is actually waiting for a bit of volume before making an official announcement

The top-rated video, for example, has been voted for by just 178 users so far [this will no doubt increase].

Other handy features include a reasonably high upload limit of 100MB per clip, which is the same as YouTube.
