Will you help Trippything?
// May 2nd, 2008 // platform, Products, Startup
As some of you may know, Elliot and I are toiling away building TrippyThing, a website that turns unfriendly, jargon-heavy confirmation emails from travel booking services into understandable, friendly, shareable trip itineraries.
We hope to tell you more about our launch timeframe for TrippyThing soon.
Right now, we need your help to add to our collection of travel booking confirmation emails.
These are the emails you receive when you book a flight, room, car, etc. The more confirmation emails we receive, the more services TrippyThing will work with when we launch.
We need your help. We need you to send us as many booking emails as possible, from as many companies as possible. In return for your help, we promise to build a cracking-good web service that will save you heaps of time when you next book a trip.
Here are some examples of the types of emails we need:
- Flight bookings (your airline, your travel agent, your online travel portal)
- Hotel bookings (wotif, lastminute, hotel chains)
- Car rentals, hire car bookings
- Restaurant bookings (long shot… but you never know)
- Carbon offset things
- Activity bookings (sky diving etc..)
Some of these will contain personal information (which I promise only we will see) but just have a quick check there aren’t any credit card details, secret trips with mistresses etc that we don’t already know about.
To get started, just search through your email for all those old confirmation emails and forward them to trips@trippything.com
Many thanks and happy trails,
- alan@trippything.com
