"TripIt has raised a round of funding, to the amount of $5.1 million, from Sabre Holdings, O\u2019Reilly AlphaTech Ventures and European Founders Fund.  This is the company's second round of funding, giving TripIt ample opportunity to continue to grow.  With several updates to its service over the past few months, TripIt has worked to combine the real life aspects of trip-panning with web-based and mobile organizational and social networking tools to make your job easier.  \nFrom sending itinerary content to your mobile phone for easy access to telling you where your friends are traveling in order to initiate meetups while in the same town, TripIt has been looking to layer in a number of automated tools for minimizing the amount of legwork needed for the user to aggregate and track their travel plans.    \nThe mobile aspects of TripIt have been developed to great extent, which has been a useful tactic in regards of accessibility.  I imagine that with this funding TripIt will be able to turn into offer recommendation tools in terms of peripheral activities for restaurants, etc.  as well as expand on its existing features for syncing the mobile, web and social realms of the TripIt service."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
