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?
