    In their own words

    “We've picked up the brochures and pamphlets at the bureau, done research at the public library, bought travel guides and magazines at the bookstore, and of course sifted through plenty of web sites - planning that perfect trip is darn difficult. There are so many sources of information and no easy way to record the gems you come across. TripTie wants to make this process easier by enabling every way possible for you to store this information, and every way possible for you to take it with you when you need it the most: on your trip”.

    Some questions

    Why is the server so slow? The site could allow users to create more full and complex profiles. What about allowing video uploads?
