Share itineraries on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter

Good post… Just killing some time at work surfing the internet and found your post. Great looking website. I will have to bookmark your blog to come back and see what’s new.

Keep going really liked your post hoping to get more such informative post.

That trip sharing is great. Thanks for a clear instruction of this apps.

Is there a way to share all trips yet not share the personal details (prices, etc.) of the trips? Something someone could subsribe to as an ical but minus the details?

I can think of 3 groups of people I would like accessing different information. now it will add forth one that is gplus

It seems that details can be controlled only if one posts on social media. It also seems that people have wanted to control what info gets out for 2 years now. When are you going to fix things so that we can control what info gets out if we share separately from social media?

That trip sharing is great. Thanks for a clear instruction of this apps. Greatly appreciated.

Hi Philip, Thanks for your feedback! In response to your concerns, I want to clarify a few things about Facebook Connect for TripIt. To begin with, the use of this feature is entirely at your discretion. If you decide to opt into the feature, and authorize Facebook to publish your trip information, then the following information will be published to your Wall (and only visible to the people on Facebook who have permission to see your Wall posts): 1. The name of the trip 2. The month and year the trip will be taken 3. The length of the trip Details like flight numbers, arrival times, and other information will not be visible in the posts that TripIt publishes to your Facebook Wall. If you are the trip owner and click on the trip post published on your Wall, you will see detailed information because it is your trip, and you have access to your own trip details at all times. I hope that helps clear up your concerns about Facebook Connect for TripIt. Also, regarding the inner circle feature of TripIt Pro, this is a tool that allows you to set a group of people with whom you automatically share your trips on TripIt. These people have the same rights and permissions as those with whom you share your trips using the free version of TripIt. The difference is just a matter of convenience for you. Rather than having to manually share trips with people each time you set them up, with the inner circle feature, TripIt does that for you. I hope all of this makes sense, and helps answer your questions. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! -Angie @ TripIt

This is definitely something that needs amending guys. You have arbitrarily decided which information gets posted and which not. Well... I think I am the best judge of that. "Inner circle" (do you really have to pay just to change rights?) will have one setting, another group will have another and so on. I can think of 3 groups of people I would like accessing different information. Why not link it DIRECTLY to the groups (or lists) feature of facebook? What would be the best is if I had a matrix of groups (lists) down the side and across the top the different items I want viewed (arrival times, FF number, etc. etc.). I do NOT want people knowing my arrival times in a public viewing. Hope you listen and can make some changes... they are really needed!

Is there a way to have the post on Facebook include the trip photo I uploaded rather than the big orange suitcase? It obviously looks nicer but also let's people know at a glance where you're going.

Peter, you actually don't need to worry about deleting sensitive information from your itinerary before making it publicly accessible. In the public-enabled view we automatically hide your ticket number, confirmation numbers, price, and frequent flyer numbers. Here's an example of a trip where public access has been enabled: http://www.tripit.com/trip/public/id/98B5B6D4C307 Personal and sensitive reservation details are only visible to those people you allow to have edit permissions on your trip. Here's a little more information on trip sharing: http://help.tripit.com/entries/90975-share-a-trip

Yeah, this feature is next-to-worthless if I have to first remove sensitive (but important!) information like FF numbers, trip cost, and the like. I want to be able to give people a quick link to my itinerary (flight #s, gate #s, times, etc.) without broadcasting all of my personal information...

One thing you might want to keep in mind when it come to making your Travel Plans public on a site like facebook. Once you post your itinerary out there everyone now knows that you are on the road, they know you wife is home alone, or that your home is completely empty and can be easily robbed. Clearly there is a need for a group of people to know your Plans, but do you really want EVERYONE knowing?

it makes no sense to publish the amount of the flight or the FF number!!!

Is there a way to post my TripIt info directly (or via iCal) to Google calendar and then allow other Google calendar users to have access to it?

How about travel profiles? My business life sits on LinkedIn, but my personal life is partly on FB. I'd like business travel and personal travel categories so I can decide where my trips are visible...

yeah I don't want people seeing my confirmation numbers or FF numbers. That makes no sense, there should definitely be a simple view available for public postings. Where's the facebook app?

It would be really nice to have a status minute regarding the dev. of Facebook App. Really disapointing.

I add a vote for a Facebook app just like the one that already exists for LinkedIn. I've seen this requested in many comments around the web and am surprised that you guys haven't got around to do it yet... what's the roadblock?

I'd like to share some but not all details of my trips. Anyway a greatly abridged update could go to one's social networks (e.g., Bob is heading to Madrid; Bob is returning from Madrid) and no link to the tripit itinerary?

All well and good, but when can I get a tripit badge for facebook, like I have for LinkedIn and my Blog?
