Trippy Is Travel Planning Done Right

Trippy is a new startup that launched earlier today at TechCrunch Disrupt. Trippy hopes to make travel planning a social experience shared amongst friends.

For example, let’s say Andre was planning a trip to Thailand. Andre would use Trippy’s Facebook integration to ask his friends who have been to Thailand what he should do while visiting the country. This makes sense as Andre’s friends are likely to know what he likes to do in his free time.

Trippy calls this a “friend-sourced” solution. Trippy is hoping that users will enjoy reliving trips as they help their friends plan trips of their own. Facebook photo album integration is sure to inspire chatter amongst friends, which helps tie users into the service.

Trippy: Don’t hire a travel agency, leverage your social network instead.
