Updating Status

Happy new year to all of my online friends!

Have you noticed that up-dating status in 2008 has become a way to say “I am alive and I am thinking of you”. Unlike what some boring critics have argued status posts aren’t an ego trip. They are part of our social life. It’s like small chats by the coffee machine. 

Anyway, the problem with status is that they have appeared everywhere: on Facebook, on Twitter (the original), on Plaxo and even on Linked in…

 Up-dating them all is killing the fun of it and is close to impossible. Relax, there are ways to sync them all (are all most all in on click).

Here is how:

Twitter to Plaxo http://blog.plaxo.com/archives/2008/01/announcing_twow.html

Linkedin is for the moment the online one that remains unsync but jugging by the threads it shouldn’t last. http://blog.linkedin.com/2008/02/28/whats-new-at-li/

 

Tripit’s Future Casualty?

I recently signed-up to Tripit.com, out of curiosity.

Not that the service provided me with much awaited benefits – sharing my itinerary with perfect strangers is not something I have been dying for… 

No, I signed-up to Tripit.com because I found the web persuasive design attractive and I really like its ease of used. The progressive, non-obtrusive registration process is also something many sites could learn from. It is an interesting use of Web 2.0 and social media. I believe that their brand new partnership with Linkedin will boost their take on business travellers. That’s how I ended-up signed-up after all.

Now, I am asking you. Do you really think Tripit can survive the crisis? Can a site like this become profitable?  Are business travellers really ready to broadcast their way about? I guess that most corporations wouldn’t like to know that their staffs provide this valuable information to competition…

What’s your take on Tripit.com?
