Not too random thoughts.
 

I like 2011 so far! TripIt joins Concur in $120m deal.

This year is starting off great, and I'm very excited about the news that TripIt has signed a deal to be acquired by Concur in a $120mil deal.

I'm very happy for the whole team, especially Scott, Gregg, and Andy. Not only are they a great team with a great product, but they have a tremendous integrity that personally inspires me.

I recall my first few working sessions with them, in their large shared office with a half-dozen start-ups. 6 people, working on modest desks made of doors laid across wooden sawhorses. Seems like just yesterday.

Pretty cool to see all the hard work on everyone's part pay off, so congratulations to all involved.

Another round for TripIt

Very cool that TripIt received another round of funding -- $7mm more in this 3rd round -- to help them really attack opportunities in the travel space.

I worked with them as a contractor a few years back...love the team, love the product. I need to travel more so I can actually, you know, USE the product...the annual Vegas trip is always run through the Itinerator, but that's about the extent of my globetrotting.

Nice job, guys, keep up the good work.

Yet another award for a client! TripIt

Yes, TripIt has won yet another award — this time it’s The Industry Standard’s “Innovation 100″ awards, and they took first place in the Productivity category.

Despite the general economic downturn, I feel pretty confident that TripIt is positioned well and flexible enough to bend in the wind without snapping. Especially where business travel is concerned — it may decline, but it’s definitely not going away, and TripIt users are damn near fanatical about the service.a

TripIt screencast we did gets “screencast of the week” from Camtasia!

Very cool - Betsy Weber awarded the TripIt screencasts as the “Screen Cast of the Week”. Here is the first of the three we did:

 

 

Steph and I worked on these — I worked with TripIt on the concept, scripting and assets, then I recorded the voiceovers, which Steph used while building the screencast in Camtasia.

I think people may be surprised at how much goes into these screencasts, even when using the right tools, so I may post more on the subject in the future. It’s the process and order of steps that I think is key.
