I think the idea is that gliider and TripIt are trying to offer different features in their service that are complementary to one another. So the same “convenient” service you found on TripIt may not be found on gliider, but there could be a replacement for it. So best thing is to just try it out yourself. Like the drag-and-drop functionality in gliider though – looks cool, and convenient that I don’t have to look through a whole webpage again to find the information I need.

I think this is a great tool. I just wish it were easily used for all kinds of content, tracking information for whatever topic I may be researching online and allowing me to easily drag and comment on it for my own reference.

Any suggestions on similar tools that are less vertical-specific?

Thanks.

So – can I email my itineraries to gliider like I can to tripit? Seems this has some cool bells and whistles but lacks the basics. Also – while this might be useful for vacations not sure it has any applicability to business travel…

Dear Leena,

Kind thanks for your detailed and accurate look at gliider.

I’d like to gently disagree with who you’ve cast as competition. We’ve great respect for both NileGuide and TripIt. But gliider offers a service sufficiently distinct from both sites such that we don’t really consider them competitors. Indeed, TripIt’s offering is complimentary to ours: where gliider helps you manage travel info before you book, TripIt helps you stay sorted once you’ve made reservation. Similarly, travelers will find that because gliider sits on your web browser, it can be used in conjunction with NileGuide (or any other content site) to make the most of the travel planning experience.

The Expedia partnership is a show-stopper for me – not reliable or cost-effective enough in my experience

This plug in will be very usefull…If i am reading into this right, it will blow away yahoo trip planner and Trip-It by bringing YOU content based on your recent searches – not to mention eliminate the mess in my favorites folder.

the only hindrance is that it is a firefox plug in. I am assuming they would be coming up with something for iPhone and IE
