I want to get into a better habit of blogging about websites or applications that I find useful. A few days ago I was reading a blog that had mentioned Tripit and the idea sort of intrigued me, especially the idea to have a central location to find all trip information. Right now when I get a confirmed flight/hotel/car itinerary for travel I star it in my Gmail inbox to allow me to find it easily. Tripit has the ability to mash everything together into one itinerary which I really liked.
The social aspect of Tripit confused me a bit - wouldn’t you already know if colleagues were going on the same trip as you? I think a better feature would be to allow your user account to search our to other people (strangers included!) and it would be a great way to meet new people on a trip.
Overall I’m quite happy with this type of organization and would encourage anyone else to check it out.
