Travel planning technique: spiderwebbing

According to the person who seems to have come up with the term:

Think of spiderwebbing as controlled adventure where your travel itinerary is determined by like-minded individuals that you mainly don't know.

The article goes on to talk about how the author talked to a friend (who happens to be a hotel expert), talked to her daughter, and got some advice from magazines (but not travel ones).

I'm not sure this spiderwebbing travel planning can work for me. I don't read magazines (unless academic journals count but they never mention hotels). I do get some advice from people but not the main trip planning advice. For example I'm planning a trip to Lisbon but I don't really know anyone who has stayed in a Lisbon hotel. I did have a colleague recommend something (would be nice if I could remember) about a place to stay for a month that's good and cheap. I guess I'll have to talk to him again...

Anyone hear plan a vacation through spiderwebbing?
