Web Innovators Group event a success

We presented at the Web Innovators Group in Boston last night. What a great event - there was rumored to be about a thousand people there! The networking was top notch. Many thanks to David Beisel and Laura Manning for doing such a great job. The TripChill mobile travel assistant got some excellent exposure from our demo and discussions at our networking table.

TripChill Mobile Travel Assistant update

The TripChill website has been recently updated. We continue to rapidly expand our international support, including the recent addition of hundreds of new airlines and airports into the TripChill system. The service now supports international weather, and you can now add notes to any of the reservations in your itinerary for printing and for viewing on your mobile device.

As always, you should send your email reservations into travel@tripchill.com so that they are automatically imported into TripChill, and the service can begin monitoring your itinerary for flight changes and potential issues. When you need to add flights into TripChill directly from the website, we made it much faster and easier by indexing tens of millions of flights from around the world and allowing you to click your flight immediately after you enter the flight number. We made it easy to notify your friends, family and colleagues about your travel status. You are prompted to notify your friends when you create a new itinerary, and you can easily import contact information from your external address books. The mobile interface (m.tripchill.com) now has a navigation header bar and many display enhancements.

Hi - This is my blog to keep travelers up to date on the latest happenings with the TripChill travel assistant service. We are excited to have launched the public beta and so far we have received excellent feedback on our free service and some great suggestions that we are diligently working on.
