TripIt, the service that creates master travel itineraries out of your confirmation emails, has become even more traveler-friendly with a new mobile site.
Users can access the site at m.tripit.com with their handheld devices. We’ve been told it works best with Blackberrys, iPhones, and Treos (the shot on the right is obviously how it looks on an iPhone).
The new site will support TripIt’s Closeness Matches, a feature that informs travelers when they’ll be in the same areas as their friends. It’s a feature that may very well have been inspired by Dopplr, another hot startup in the travel space.
Michael recently named TripIt as one of the Web 2.0 companies he couldn’t live without.
Hey I was wondering, does anyone still go down to the AAA office and get a TripTik?
When any company goes Mobile — it’s definitely a positive! Look forward to checking out the service ourselves!
First, I’m surprised the don’t push harder to get their users to book travel through their own service (with affiliate links) instead of just asking users to email their details once the trip is booked. I would expect to see more travel shopping integration in the future.
Second, the only person using AAA TripTiks is my mother who “don’t like using that gash darn computer” for anything.
Is there a good list of mobile ready sites. I currently do not own a smart phone but when I do I would like to add this site, Facebook, Gmail, etc. Just wondering if there was one place to visit to see a good list of the addresses.
Looks incredibly useful. Thanks!
I mean, come on. Is this really applicable to the average person who does no traveling like me?
Mike,
You WOULD add Facebook. Grow up…
Excuse me? You’re telling me to grow up and you’re attempting to make fun of people online? I think you’re a bit confused.
It was a very simple question. If you don’t have a good answer then don’t reply.
To answer your question: No, there is not. Why don’t you go make one?
Mike – try out http://www.getmobio.com. They’ve got a bunch of cools mobile apps for smart phones and regular java phones too.
Love Tripit! Doing a lot of traveling, and the automatic itinerary creator is super useful. I’ve been on Dopplr too, and I like the sharing aspect, but it seems more logical to have Tripit store your itinerary, and then let you choose how much info about your trip to share with your friends.
A lot of my friends, and the web2.0 crowd are popping up on Dopplr, but it just seems like its not as useful and its frustrating to have to manually type in things that are already in my Tripit account.
