DISQUS

Cory Forsyth: tripit, my favorite startup

  • dphiffer · 11 months ago
    I agree that the email interface is nice, but there are a few things that bug me about Tripit:

    - Social software as competition, i.e. "you're tied for 2nd place for number of trips"
    - Too many opportunities to get lost in semantic details (is it an "activity" or a "meeting")
    - The best feature, plans@tripit.com, is not visible after you login

    In general, though, the premise of parsing travel plans out of horrible jumbled email formats is a great service.

    I agree -- the social aspect of the site is the most lacking. I think
    Dopplr is probably better at this (though I haven't used it). Would be nice
    if there was some cross-compatibility between the two.

    trip it is one of my favorite travel website. I've been using it since it was launched in beta and there have been many improvements. I think they need to work more on the social aspect

    I agree with all of your points, more people should pay attention to the details if they want results.Tripit can forward them the email itineraries from airlines, hotels, priceline, etc. after you book travel online and tripit parses the email and emails you back (immediately) with a link to your itinerary on their site.nice service tripit provide.

    Good startups work because they give the people something they want, typically by solving some thrift savings plan point for them. The time I really got into tripit was when I was booking a lot of flights to travel back and forth to San Francisco last fall. I was chasing cheap hotels with priceline, and booking the cheapest convenient flights I could find, which meant I was flying lots of different airlines and amassing a lot of confirmation emails.
