TripHuddle was founded by six people who had become very close friends during their time in college and, upon graduating, were spread out across the U.S. They were having difficulty planning trips to get together. They could plan trips on a surface level, but keeping track of all the details was very difficult to do between them. So they came up with an idea to develop a social network that was based entirely on the idea of planning trips and sharing ideas with friends.
There are three major areas to TripHuddle. Users can share their trip information with friends on other social networks by letting them know where they are going, how they are getting there, and when they will be arriving. It also allows users to collaborate with one another and organize all the aspects of their trip plans. They use a shared calendar and can even share ideas and vote on them.
I think this is an excellent way to help people plan trips with one another, whether they may be in the same area or across the globe.
Wow! Very clever idea on their part! I think it's a great tool for groups, friends, and family to use when you're spread across the country. I know I have family all over the country and they're all coming in for graduation and my dad has been sending a lot of emails lately about details of the trip, but this site would be a great way for all of us to organize our plans.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to this site? It doesn't seem to be there anymore. The closest thing I've found so far is something called Your Coconut, which is more of a site geared around organizing the information around reunions, serving kind of as a quick, free, family reunion website. It focuses more on the destination info (events & activities, lodging, etc.) rather than the trip-planning, though you can put your guests' flight and rental car info up there, so I guess it would work pretty well for group travel.
