TripIt.com (Beta)
For those who love to streamline the Internet. Okay, here’s the scoop. There are so many new travel sites out there now, it’s getting to be funny. This one comes from Hotwire.com co-founder Greg Brockway. TripIt.com is a service that allows you to get all your necessary (and sometimes unnecessary) travel information together all in one place. That includes hotel reservations, flight information, weather in that city, events in the city, maps, etc. Of course all those tools are already online or in your email box. So, what TripIt.com does is lets you send your email confirmations to one place, and they do the rest. Say you are flying to Denver and staying at a Drury Inn. You email your two booking confirmations to TripIt, and they use their “Itenerator” to extract all the necessary information. They put that information along with local weather and events all on one page. Not a bad idea I suppose.
