TripIt | Online travel itinerary and trip planner - 0 views

  •  
    a service that organizes your flights, car rentals and hotel bookings, storing them all in one easy-to-access place (i.e. your phone).Just sign up for a free account and begin adding your upcoming trips. You can either input information manually or simply forward travel confirmation emails to the site and they'll do it for you. (We like the latter route since we're a tad lazy).   While the site is useful, what really makes this service sing is the iPhone app, which features a host of additional features, including maps to get you to the airport and seat plans of the plane you'll be flying. In other good news, TripIt recently teamed up with Yapta (as covered in Netted, Yapta helps assure you get low-priced airfares). Now when you forward flight confirmation emails to TripIt,Yapta can track your for lower ticket prices or refunds with a single click. If your airfare dips they'll help you get a refund for the difference. You can also share travel plans with friends (when you register it searches your address book and Facebook account for other TripIt users). That way, if somebody you know is also going to be in, say, Maui, you'll be able to connect with them, and you'll know their itinerary (and vice versa).

Time Management, Productivity, & Project Tracking Software (Mac/PC) | RescueTime - 0 views

  •  
     a free web-based tool that tracks and analyzes how you spend time while at your computer.Once the application is installed it runs in the background, monitoring both your web-browsing habits and application usage. (It does stop if you get up and walk away, so lunchtime is still your time).The service does everything from assigning you a basic efficiency rating to providing categorical breakdowns of how much time you spend on different activities (using Excel would fall under "Business" while looking at cat videos would fall under "Leisure Surfing").The time-tracking reports and graphs will show you precisely how you're spending your time (by day, week, month and year) and what activities you're doing (and, by default, not doing).Those looking to get serious may want to upgrade to RescueTime Pro (the plan starts at $5.30 per month) to take advantage of extra features. One that's especially helpful is FocusTime, which allows you to block all Internet "distractions" for a specified period of time.

thredUP - Go shopping. In someone else's closet. - 0 views

  •  
     a peer-to-peer clothing exchange that lets you trade items with other people who also want to clean out their closets.When you sign up you answer a series of questions (do you live in the city or suburbs? how large is your closet?) that determine how much you have in the way of unwanted clothing and what the "value" of your closet is. From there you add the items you want to trade to your virtual closet, listing the size, brand, color and condition. Then you tell them what you're looking for, again specifying brands and sizes. The system uses an algorithm to match your preferences with other users. Once a swap is engaged you send your items using pre-paid envelopes (they come in packets of three for $25; the service is otherwise free). If you feel a little odd about taking somebody else's used clothing, rest assured that threUP claims most of their users only trade new or "like new" items.  In addition there's rating system that helps maintain quality control (it also allows the system to find good matches for you).
