Triptouch Launches the ‘ultimate’ Travel Widget
TripTouch is launching their travel widget for Netvibes and iGoogle. The widget is updated automatically to the user location. It’s suitable especially for frequent travelers and / or travelers during a trip.
It features updated local information and services for more than 5,000 destinations worldwide. The widget includes travel guides, activities, restaurants, current events, accommodation, transportation, weather, currency rates, nearby travelers and more. For many services online booking is available.
“We launched our travel homepage last November”, says Gil Ruda, TripTouch’s co-founder and CEO “we’ve got good reviews and our travel community is growing. Now we thought that we could use our platform to serve our users and new audiences in more ways, and we’ve decided to develop a widget for start pages”.
Currently the TripTouch platform aggregates and integrates content from the best sources in the web: Wikitravel (travel guides), eventful (worldwide events) , Google maps, Kayak (transportation), Priceline (hotels), OpenTable (restaurants), Viator (activities), Sportsevents365, HostelWorld.
