This past Fall, I've taken many trips (at one time I was out of NYC for 7 out of 8 weekends). With planning and coordinating the trips, I've had to utilize various websites, applications, and communication platforms. Often times, it becomes disorganized not having everything in one place and having to relay the information to friends who are accompanying me or who I am visiting. I've spoken with others who have had to use
Google Maps,
Kayak, and
Zipcar to plan the trip, then set up a Facebook group or message thread to share all the information.
Wouldn't it be cool if you could collaboratively plan a trip in an organized and social way?
I'm working on a
Road Trip Facebook application that will allow users to share itinerary and invite friends to join a trip where all the information will live in one place. Once the trip is set up, a live blog will be launched (similar to
New Livestream) that will allow the trip to be documented in real time, and act as a digital journal once the trip is over.
It is currently still in development, but
check out the mock up here.
