TripAdvisor's share price has been falling recently, and there are three reasons that investors should buy shares. TripAdvisor is the leading online travel research firm. It houses user-generated reviews of travel destinations, and then sells ads to online travel agents like Expedia and priceline.com.

And the company has been strengthening those network bonds by integrating its platforms with Facebook in order to connect friends together.
