If you are a MySpace-er or a Facebook-ie your next social networking frontier may just be Placely.com.
Placely is a web service providing travelers the ability to stay better connected to everything travel. The Company was started by social, leisure and business travelers, living all over the world. They knew a better tool existed to share their travel plans and experiences.
With Placely, you share your past, present, and future itineraries, along with your experiences. Traditionally, you would call your friends on the phone to tell them about an upcoming trip, get advice about a destination, or rave about an awesome trip you just came back from. Placely handles all that for you, but in a much more fun and efficient way!
Placely.com's TripKit lets you aggregate all the information you'll need for your trip in one convenient spot. Just enter your travel itinerary and from there you'll have a page with maps from Google, a five-day weather forecast courtesy of the Weather Channel and user generated content from Yelp.com.
This is first and foremost a social networking site for business travelers. You can see who in your network of friends and colleagues will be in the city you're traveling to when you are there, and whether they live there or are just visiting (although if they are your real friends, you'd probably know that part - I hope).
This is still in the Beta phase, but functionality additions coming are concerts, sporting events and shows that will be displayed. But right now you can post an upcoming trip and anyone in your network can synch their schedule to yours. Meet you in ............
