Counting whereupon now the hotels are offering complete packages (including food, bar and the use of the facilities) almost never we found reservation when we needed it. Now to organize vacations no longer will be so stressing.

I’ve used Tripit for a while. Tripit is 100 percent easier to use than WAYN. And is better integrated/compatible with travel purchasing sites like Hotwire or Orbitz. For instance, when you use a site like Hotwire or Orbitz to buy tickets, you can just fwd your purchased ticket email to Tripit and it instantly makes an organized trip plan for you. It’s not really like Yahoo Travel either which is as spidery and hard to manage as Yahoo 360 was. I would never use Yahoo Travel for managing my travel plans. That’s not what it’s really for. Y Travel is more social/research and I wouldn’t use it to plan business trips. But, I would use Tripit to plan and organize trips for business where you really need a level of organization and accountability, and accessibility.

this is exactly what the likes of WAYN, DOPPLR, Tripadvisor, Vibeagent, and so many more are now doing - cant see anything innovative here?

This is Andrea from TripIt. We’ve recently added quite a bit of support for Carlson Wagonlit. If you haven’t sent in a CW confirmation in a while, give it another try. You should see much better results. If you’re still running into issues, please feel free to contact us directly at support@tripit.com and we’ll take a look ASAP.

Hi all, this is Scott from TripIt. Just wanted to chime in quickly to make it clear that your trip information is NOT shared with the public in TripIt. We only share your list of destinations (and dates) with people you connect with in TripIt, by either sending them a friend invite or by accepting one they’ve sent you.

And then, when you connect with someone as a TripIt friend, that person can only see where you are going and when (and you can always mark a trip as ‘private’ to hide it even from your friends). They won’t see your detailed itinerary (including flight numbers, hotel name, etc.) unless you specifically take an extra step to share the itinerary with them. So you have complete control in TripIt over who sees your trip info and how much they see.

#6 I agree - here is my post on the topic:

I also struggle with why such a functional app would want to expand in this fashion.

Though adding the ability for singles to meet on a vacation would be awesome.

Although I love the idea for these closeness alerts, it may pose a potential privacy issue in the future. There may be a possibility that a person may be the victim of a stalker. This may open it up to litigious action down the road.

Wow, I hadn’t even checked out their service until today. Forwarding your travel plans to have a master itinerary built is a brilliant idea. I like how you don’t have to sign up to get started.

This is great. Nothing else could be better than having a sense of community among travelers.
