Run by Harvard University students since 1960, Let's Go Publications is revitalizing its digital presence by launching a website and line of mobile apps designed for travelers on a student budget. The new website includes student reviews of listings and destinations, student-written blogs from the road, student-produced videos, and photos. Let's Go Explore apps for iPhone and Android cover 25 cities, with Nook apps coming soon. Each free app features five city walking tours handpicked by student travelers. These apps are teasers for the upcoming Let's Go app, a full digital travel guide with thousands of listings and content from all of the Let's Go guidebooks. - www.letsgo.com, www.letsgo.com/apps
