Thank you, Kristin, for helping.

susesiyiz: Does this answer your question sufficiently?

Nice idea, Chris. I'll make a note .

Kristin replied on October 06, 2008 19:52 to the question "how do i delete my account" in TripIt:

Login to TripIt, go to the 'Account' page and select 'Close Account'. The rest should be self-explanatory. If you need any assistance, you can contact me at support@tripit.com. Thanks.

Came in to suggest exactly this..

Kristin replied on September 17, 2008 21:59 to the problem "Tripit Widget doesn't work on my blog?" in TripIt:

Sorry to hear that. Is it possible that you didn't hit "save" when you enabled your blog badge? You can verify that your blog badge is on from your publishing options page, http://www.tripit.com/account/edit/se...

If that's not the issue, I'm happy to investigate. You can email me at support@tripit.com. Thanks.

Good point, Chris. Noted. :)

Kristin replied on September 05, 2008 21:56 to the idea "Improve links in TripIt confirmation emails" in TripIt:

Definitely worth considering. I'll pass it on. :)

Thanks for letting us know, Chris.

Kristin replied on September 04, 2008 23:55 to the idea "Allow creating "private" notes" in TripIt:

Makes perfect sense. Duly noted. :)

A comment on the idea "Allow creating "private" notes" in TripIt:

Yeah, absolutely, though I think you'd want to beef up your distinctions of what's private and what's shareable... For example, I think it'd be super handy to record confirmation numbers, frequent flyer mile numbers, etc... but I'd want to know that those pieces of information are always kept hidden except to me (or "trusted" friends/travelers). You could do this very simply by putting a lock icon next to such input fields. – Chris Messina, on September 04, 2008 23:53

Kristin replied on September 04, 2008 23:31 to the problem "Airline connections/layovers shouldn't cause maps to be added to itineraries." in TripIt:

Intriguing solution. Thanks.

Kristin replied on September 04, 2008 23:30 to the idea "Allow creating "private" notes" in TripIt:

Sounds like a valuable feature. I'll pass it on. Just curious, would you also like to store this private info in your TripIt account? Seems like that would be a useful feature in this case, especially if it's information you'd like to recall. Thoughts?

A comment on the problem "Airline connections/layovers shouldn't cause maps to be added to itineraries." in TripIt:

I was thinking about that. Perhaps it's less automated -- maybe there's a simply link off to the side of each item that has a location attached to it: "Add a map for this location." Then I can pick which areas I want a map for (for example, if I'm going back home, I won't need maps). – Chris Messina, on September 04, 2008 23:27

Kristin replied on September 04, 2008 23:19 to the problem "Airline connections/layovers shouldn't cause maps to be added to itineraries." in TripIt:

Makes sense, Chris. The thinking here is that if you have a layover greater than 4 hours, you might actually venture outside the airport. ;-) Not sure what the magic number is but it's always worth looking at again. Thanks, as always!

A comment on the idea "I forgot the Tripit email address, and almost didn't use the service!" in TripIt:

No problem. My pleasure. :) – Kristin, on August 21, 2008 20:27

Yipee! Thanks for putting up with pushy users like me!

Kristin replied on August 21, 2008 17:25 to the idea "I forgot the Tripit email address, and almost didn't use the service!" in TripIt:

Great points. I'll certainly pass them on. ;-)

Blake Engel replied on August 21, 2008 17:17 to the idea "I forgot the Tripit email address, and almost didn't use the service!" in TripIt:

True, but I humbly submit that I did not know that, nor will other users. They may fail at using the service, just as I almost did.

You might consider changing the text on the home page from "Just forward your travel confirmation emails to: plans@tripit.com" to "Just forward your travel confirmation emails to: tripit@tripit.com." The old email address would continue to work in perpetuity.

This would not impact users who are already successfully using the service in any way. And "tripit@tripit.com" makes just as much sense for new users, if not more.
