Using a specialized and well-designed web interface to help a person plan their trip is a good idea to begin with. Augment that with the social aspects of sharing on the web, simply brilliant!

Honestly, it was brought about by a disdain for planning travel: not only doing research on the web (for places to go to in Japan), but trying to whittle down options from our numerous guidebooks, pamphlets, and but of course, TripAdvisor. From that day forth, we set out to build something to aid the travel planners just like us. At the time, there was nothing of its kind....now, there is Yahoo Trip Planner. Soon, there will be <a href="http://www.triptie.com/" rel="nofollow">TripTie</a>.
