Triposo: Ex-Googlers Raise $3.5M From InterWest To Put Social (& Traditional) Travel Guides To Shame. Last fall, ex-Googlers Jon Tirsen and Douwe Osinga launched a new mobile travel platform called Triposo, which aimed to bring a little PageRank order to an unruly ocean of travel content in service of a greater good: Giving us, the end user, more relevant, personalized travel recommendations. Because there’s already a mess of public destination and travel information in databases like Wikitravel and Open Street Maps, rather than become another player in the brimming social travel space, Triposo took an algorithmic approach to travel recs.
This approach allows it to come up with relevant suggestions no matter where you are, with little effort required from the end users, making for what the founders call a “lean-back travel experience.” So, even though models, users and money have favored the social approach, Triposo has attracted nearly two million downloads (and has attracted fairly high ratings) of its travel guides on iOS and Android since launch.

A smoother, less stressful airport process might be within reach thanks to technology developed by SITA Lab and Orange Business Services. SITA’s research arm has been working on a SIM-based concept using near field communication technology or NFC, which could open up security, airline lounges and boarding gates just by tapping your mobile device to a scanner. The SIM-based development supports the GSM Association‘s standard on NFC which uses the SIM as the secure element enabling the technology to be widely adopted regardless of device or operator. This approach is also said to be backed by 45 mobile operators which cover more than 60% of the mobile phone market. According to SITA, the NFC technology will help increase the share of mobile boarding passes from between 2 and 3% in 2011 to between 50 and 80% by 2018.

Mobile users drive Cleartrip Expressway one-click flight bookings. It’s happening more frequently now — innovations in mobile are finding their way into travel companies’ desktop solutions.
That’s what happened with India online travel agency Cleartrip, which has implemented, on an opt-in basis, a one-click flight-booking feature on its website and in Cleartrip Mobile called Expressway. Hrush Bhatt, Cleartrip founder and director of product and strategy, writes in a blog post that Expressway replaces the previously mobile-only Express Checkout feature and that the adoption of the latter by mobile customers “spurred us on to develop Expressway as a solution that works across all devices.”
With Expressway you add your profile and the details about your debit and credit cards — including American Express, MasterCard, Visa and others — and store them in your Cleartrip account. And, if you also book for family members or other people, you can enter their names, as well. The project took “months and months” to carryout, Bhatt writes.
