Less than a year after TripAdvisor acquired Wanderfly to boost its social recommendation efforts, the travel inspiration startup has announced its plans to shutter the site.  In approximately one week, all user accounts, including profile details and other content, will no longer be available.

In an email to subscribers, the Wanderfly team explained:

A few years ago, we created Wanderfly to make the online travel experience more personal, fun and beautiful. From a dinner conversation idea, to a dozen employees crammed in a Soho/Brooklyn loft, to being honored as a top 10 startup, it has been a crazy few years.

In 2012, TripAdvisor acquired Wanderfly so that millions of travelers around the world could find the same travel inspiration and recommendations that Wanderfly fans already enjoyed.
