Week 2, new features: mobile search and checkin, connect to tripit, huge improvements to foursquare and twitter import, replies to comments etc.

We’ve been pretty busy this week. About an hour ago, we released an update to the site that includes the following:

Tripline Mobile

  • Geolocation – Tripline Mobile is now configured to use location information from your phone if it’s available.
  • Check in – You can now check in to the places in your trips, update your story and add new places.
  • Local Search – Use local search to find places and add them to your trips.  Once you find a place, you can check in if you’re there, or just add a place to your plan and check in when you get there.
  • Create new trips – No need to plan ahead, create a trip right from your phone and check in to add new places.
  • More info here

Connect to Tripit

You can now connect your Tripline account to Tripit and import your trips. It’s a great way to tell your stories.  Note that some of your older trips may not have geo data, and some items don’t have dates.

Improved import from Foursquare

When we first launched, Foursquare importing was limited to your most recent 15 checkins.  Well, now you can import everything.  Just click [Create a trip from my checkins] on the create page and pick the checkins you want to import.  There’s a [+] load more link at the bottom of the page so you can find all of your past checkins.

Improved import from Twitter

You can now load all of your tweets (geo and non-geo) and add locations if you need to.  Just like importing from Foursquare, There’s a [+] load more link at the bottom of the page.

Comments & Responses

We added replies to comments and we also put comments on user pages.

Bug Fixes

We fixed a number of bugs related to broken trips and other inconsistencies around the site.
