Tripit
daryn:
I first heard of Tripit when they launched a couple years back, but though people raved about it, I didn’t really see the need. I had my own system for tagging all of the emails related to a trip in my gmail, as well as manually entering things into iCal, and for the handful of times I travel each year, that worked fine for me.

They were both written and recorded in less than two days by two separate artists so I hope the fast work that went into either track is handsomely rewarded.
Fingers super crossed!!!

Independent Lens: Copyright Criminals →
