Read about this site in the Wall Street Journal a few weeks ago.

You sign up with the email account that you use for your travel reservations (you can link more then one email), and then when you get your confirmation (air, hotel, rental car) you simply email it to the tripit site and it will aggregate all your travel plans.

I've been using it for about a month and it is great. Spouse can simply log on and see all my travel plans - no need to be emailing them.

I highly recommend it - can't see any downside at this point and it is really useful for keeping tabs on future travel of multiple family members. (You can rename the trips for ease.)

Yeah, I love tripit - especially since you can pretty much just interact through email. No waiting for mobile phone browsers and all, just email it asking for your reservation info...

In fact, I just blogged about it two days ago (http://blog.fosketts.net/2008/03/26/three-incredible-travel-websites-you-ought-to-use/)!

I've just started using tripit since January. Sharing itineraries with friends and family is great. The only down side is that it is very weak on European reservations, especially hotels...even major chains. I hope that they will continue to improve the service.

I've found them to be very quick to respond to emails and suggestions. The Eventful.com additions (suggested events) can be very hit or miss and the wikipedia summary of each town is perfunctory and usually irrelevant. Nevertheless, the service works very well, and I like the different ways to show your itinerary (list, detail, with maps, etc)

There is already a long, long thread about tripit here in this forum.
