TripIt Gets Full-Fledged Mobile Integration

tripit.jpgFor someone who doesn't travel a lot, I wouldn't think I would care a tremendous amount about a personalized itinerary management tool. But I do! Not being a trip veteran, I get a little woozy when thinking about all the daunting things I have to remember in order to have a smooth trip; flight numbers or times, hotel information, conference times, when, or where to meet friends or colleagues, etc.

The mobile interface is easily accessible and limited to the important stuff. It also has search capabilites and some of the cooler things that are accessible on the TripIt site, like its Closeness Matches, which lets you know when your travel plans overlap with a friends. Coming soon is a reservation feature which will make not only accessing scheduled information easy but also creating new activities. Now if I miss my flight, dinner with that old friend, or sky diving to my death, its totally all my fault because the information it only a click away.

This is yet another example of a company building out a solid set of services or features and allowing their users to access them from a variety of locations. Build once and serve everywhere.
