TripIt's Open Platform Now Powers 330+ Travel Related Applications
Over 850 Developers in Ecosystem Leveraging TripIt Data
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TripIt, the leading mobile trip management service from Concur (Nasdaq CNQR), is pleased to support continued industry innovation with more than 330 applications now leveraging the TripIt API (application protocol interface), almost double from a year ago. These applications add value to travelers' lives by allowing them to connect their TripIt data to services that offer everything from flight tracking, to mobile boarding passes, to meeting new people while traveling, or calculating one's carbon emissions.
"We are proud to be the leading resource offering access to itinerary data so developers can delight consumers with new and innovative services," said Gregg Brockway, General Manager and co-founder, TripIt. "We also believe by allowing data to flow freely, there is an opportunity for all of us in the travel industry to deliver more intelligent and instantly customized travel services for consumers."
Market leading and newer Apps Integrated with TripIt
TripIt supports leading services like FlightTrack Pro and TripDeck from Mobiata, TravelTracker Pro from Silverware Software, GateGuru, and USA TODAY AutoPilot.
Some newer innovations include:
-- Airside Express: "Mobile Boarding Passes are super-convenient, and as
die-hard TripIt users, we wanted to be able to jump from our TripIt
itinerary directly to Mobile Check-In and Mobile Boarding Passes. Toss
in flight information updates and one-touch boarding pass display, and
you have Airside Express!" Adam Tsao, COO, Airside Mobile
-- Memolane: "Captures your photos, videos, music, tweets, posts, and much
more on a timeline, so you can see, search and share your life as you
live it. Seeing where you have traveled with TripIt is an important part
of the Memolane experience, adding great context to the pictures, videos
and other content you created on your trip." Nikolaj Hald Nielsen,
Co-Founder and Product Lead, Memolane
-- Planely: "Ever sat on a plane wishing you were next to someone else?
Integrating your Planely and Tripit accounts takes under a minute and
means you get reports showing you who else will be traveling on your
plane and around you in the airport. Air travel just got a bit more
exciting!" Nick Martin, Co-founder and CEO, Planely
-- TripCarbon: "We created a tool for calculating carbon emissions using
Brighter Planet's CM1 carbon calculation web service and integrating
travel information from TripIt itineraries so that travelers can see
their carbon footprint and make informed travel decisions." Scott Bulua,
Developer, TripCarbon
-- News360:. "We deliver personalized news from over 1,000 news sources in
one intuitive stream, tailored to each individual. Travelers, for
example, can connect News360 to TripIt and get local news from all of
their upcoming destinations." Roman Karachinsky, Co-founder and CBDO,
News360
