Tripl is a new social travel service to interact with recommended locals and travelers connected to your existing network. Find out who your friends would recommend as a “must meet” local when traveling the world. Add your own recommendations and watch your travel network grow like crazy. Add trips and find out which locals and travelers will be there. This is just the beginning....
-
- How do I begin?
Just click “Connect with Facebook” or “Connect with Linkedin” to get started.
-
-Why not Twitter?
We don’t believe Twitter facilities the same kind of social graph that Linkedin or Facebook does. We are looking for fun ways to integrate Twitter shortly.
-
-I don’t have a Facebook or Linkedin account, can I still use this?
Really? You don’t have a Facebook account? You should, but don’t worry we are working on the ability to use our product without having a Facebook or Linkedin account, however there will be limited functionality. You really should really sign up at http://facebook.com or http://linkedin.com
-
-Why do you need my friends and my current locations?
Tripl looks at your existing social network though a geographical perspective. Many algorithms we run are based on that information. In order to show you who is coming to your city we need to know where you are based. We use your friend’s location to provide recommendations and help grow your network.
-
-I don’t see anyone at my upcoming trip, whats up?
Don’t worry! I am sure there will be many great people there. We have just launched the site don’t worry we will notify if someone becomes a local or adds a trip that overlaps.
