A tourist in his hometown...

Wednesday, October 15, 2008  
TripHub is out of business, citing factors such as "the economic environment" and "the state of the travel". And also, they ran out of money.

Devoted readers (all 7 of you) will remember my post from March'07 when I was searching for a trip planning site for my 3 weeks in Thailand. Shortly after posting my negative review, TripHub's VP of Marketing John Pope (with help from a web monitoring/spidering tool no doubt), left this comment:

John
Victor - I'm happy that you know (and are glad) that we are listening. We are. And we will work hard to improve TripHub!

It was very Godin-ish for John to leave a note, good luck to his future endeavours.

So I'm still looking for a travel journal / planning tool that incorporates photos, Google Maps, blogs and travel research. Yahoo's Trip Planner hasn't changed since I used them for that trip. Any recommendations?
