How good is Tripsay?

url:  Tripsay

  • What is it good for?

This appears to be well done site.  I like that I can put in information about me and it does something with it.  My favorite place is Ireland and it shows me a well done view with that included.  If I had a ton of friends that know a lot about travel then I would love this site.

  • What is it missing

Well I’m afraid that what is missing is easy.  This looks like work.  I have to invite a bunch of friends..can I ask once for linkedIn, Facebook and this?  Not going to happen ..unless I lose my job so I can plan trips I don’t have any $ for.

  • Other sites:

When I want to just troll content for cool things to do I go to tripadvisor.  There are millions of reviews on sites all around the world and I don’t have to do any work to invite folks…web 2.0 is good but can’t we just get lazy.

How good is Farecast? How much will flight cost in future?

url: Farecast

  • What is it good for?

1st this site is a great piece of IT engineering.  It mashes up prices on flights and soon hotels and gives you predictions on future prices based on historical prices.  If you are thinking of a trip to location in the future and want some idea of how much it might cost this site is the best thing available. You can view in the last 90 days what the best price is.  You may not get this but your in the ballpark at least

  • What is it missing?

Well you have to pick two locations that they have lot’s of data on to get the cool part of the site.  e.g.  Indianapolis doesn’t have predictions but Chicago does.  They need to add more sites like top 50 US sites which they don’t have.

  • Other sites:

If you just want the best price for a place and dates you have already decided on, there are many other sites that are quicker at getting you  the answer.  This site will help you decide if you are going months in advance.
