Even out of town, I'm more tempted to look for friends that live/lived there, or look for quality online review sites. Social media maybe, if done right. There's a fine line between being annoying (have everyone send your friend an email or facebook invite for this new bar!) and good targeted advertising.

In all honesty, the Planet is one of the first places I come for information when I'm traveling somewhere. I like to engage in conversations about the places I'm going not just read what 1 writer says in a 1-way information stream, so even when I'm using google... I'll usually find a message board (often use regional fly fishing boards) in the region and make queries there.
