Reduce the stress of traveling with all your details in one easy to access place: TripIt. The info-keeping service has launched a beta version of its application for Android just in time for the holidays. TripIt has had an app on the iPhone for some time. TripIt allows users to simply forward confirmation emails from more »

As a frequent traveler, I am awash in trip confirmations, hotels, and rental car info. I often forget who I’ve told I am going away and who I’ve not. TripIt aims to change all that. By simply forwarding them your confirmation emails, they scan the doc and import in the pertinent information into their system and put it out there for you and anyone you give access to. Talk about handy.

I’ve been using TripIt for a bit now and must say it works as promised. It takes email forwarded from sites like Travelocity and Expedia as well as from the airlines directly and travel agents. Entering in new trips was effortless and the data entered was spot on. Even when JetBlue changed a flight time on me, I forwarded the email wondering if it would throw their system for a loop; nope, it changed my data just as I hoped.

My contacts could easily find my trip info and when i was on the road, accessing the data was a snap. I enjoy the service but had some questions. Luckily, Gregg Brockway, CEO and founder of TripIt was willing to answer my questions. Gregg comes out of the travel industry and seems to know his stuff.
