@Meg: Luckily, I was traveling w/my wife who pays attention to things like where a plane is going.

@Frank: Sent you an invite.

I recently joined as well. Trying to convince my colleagues to join as well as it would be a good way to track what location we are in each week - trying to do this via Collabsuite is just too cumbersome.

On a personal level, I’ve just learned from TripIT that a friend living in Australia will be back in Ireland during the summer.

Feel free to add me to your network.

@Topper: I’m down for that. The only reason why airlines/hotels/rental car companies haven’t done this already I can think of is the standard, big business/slow adoption argument.

Make it happen.

I love TripIT, as someone who travels every week its a god send. What I’ve never understood is why the Airlines and hotels haven’t made this part of their points programs. It would be fantastic to automatically be told of someone with a layer in the airport, same hotel or even same flight. It wouldn’t be that hard to setup comparing people’s interests and other friends they’ve hooked up with. It would be a simple straight forward approach to social networking. Maybe something like this exists, but if the airlines and hotels are driving it we would obviously see much quicker adoption than just through the geek world as we see it with TripIt, etc.

Anyone got some VC money or some contacts? Mr Starwood Arup Nanda are you listening?

Yes the computing power would be massive, but we could use EC2 for that and the ability to sell into local restaurants / businesses would be massive.

Jakeis right, TripIt is way better than Dopplr if for no other reason than the ability to email itinerary confirmations to the service and have it build a complete itinerary of your trip. Awesome.
