I'm using TripWiser beta for the last few weeks. The site is very simple and intuitive, something I've been waiting for a long time. No other place enables you to organize your trip like this. I already used it to plan a weekend in Carmel. It has some cool features you can't find anywhere. For example I had a reservation for a nice dinner in a restaurant, the restaurant is 20 miles from Carmel and I was looking for a nearby hotel to stay for the night. In a click of a button TripWiser shows the list of all the nearby hotel on a fancy Google map and add it to your plan. I ordered the hotel right from the site. Another cool thing is that you can browse 100s of 'ready to go' trips, choose one and customize it based on your preferences. It was great to find how much valuable data they were able to collect. I'm planning a trip to Alaska and I'm focused on luxery style, TripWiser enable you to filter the trips exectly the way you want it and present me with some very interesting trips suggestions. Highly recommended. Best of bread is not always the best, some new startups does come with new ideas and invoate great solutoins. I’m using TripWiser beta for the last few weeks.

In the B-to-B context I’m guessing Rearden offers little incremental ROI over existing travel booking tools. What is the result of selling a “me-too” product for a highly non-strategic area of the business to reduce costs in one of the most highly commoditized spaces in the world? Is the addition of airport parking and the ability to book into a jazz club the game changer? As a comp, CliqBooks, which is the fastest growing corporate travel tool in the market was recently sold at a value of $67m. They too were able to add-in other services like airport parking, dining reservations through opentable and integration to leading meeting management tools. Rearden is likely 2-3 years behind CB in the B-to-B market in terms of customers and transaction flow even with AMX support. In the B-to-C area ditto above on the “met-too” with additional risk in the fragmentation of the market. Also, take a look at what Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity have spent on branding and marketing over the last 4-5 years for customer acquisition. Where will that money come from for Rearden to acquire customers in the B-to-C space. What is it again that will be so unique in the B-to-C space? To top it all off, they have raised $100m making it hard to see how current and future employees will win and/or the VC’s. I;m shocked that any board of directors would give this 7 years and $100m without change at the top. Don’t they have a fiduciary responsibility to their LP’s? Hey Curt, did you say farce? Good one!

The rough translation goes something like this: Many companies have tried mashups for "serious" purposes/ services and have done an ok job and covered some of the relevant services. But now, rearden has provided a solid interface to most of the desired services and they will "clean house". While the opinion is debatable (as always), that is what seems to be the intended meaning of the title. Next topic please. I would like to hear more proof of the opinions above stating that reaerden is a "farce", "vaporware", etc. Any proof? By stating that rearden's execution is less then functional, it seems like there's a agreement around of the business model in general. Anyone know if their execution is truly poor?

I am watching the online travel space as part of my research and it's interesting how these "web 2.0" sites started to popup everywhere. There is another site somewhat similar to Rearden, but it is totaly virgin, still in beta actually. Tripwiser.com . As of now, you can only get access by request. They provide thousands of predefined trip itineraries for travel inside the United States that you can customize. Don't know if you can use it for mobile devices, haven't tried it yet, but I am sure they'll have to do it sooner or later to stay competitive.
