Has Anyone Tried TripIt?
I saw a blurb on this service in Sunday's NYT. It looks pretty cool:

Has anyone played around with it yet?

Just a little. Seems to import data well from reservation confirmations of the major hotels, air etc. Have not yet tried to see how well it formats an entire trip and have others be able to view it. Will let you know next week and would also be interested in others' experience.

simple OK, complex missed some key
I started with a simple Hertz & Southwest = no problems.
Tried a more complex one.
Hertz OK
Travelocity failed miserably
Hyatt failed
Kempinski failed, but that is to be expected
Adding flights manually not too bad, but..
We'll see if they take feedback seriously

The site adds data from straightforward sites and confirmations easily. If you send it something it does not recognize it offers you the option of adding it as an unformatted note. You can edit those easily. I think it will prove to be easier than what I am doing now (don't ask!) and a decently effecient way of having trips organized for Mr. mstraveler and family to see. Of course, if they make the site better, all the easier.

I've tried this for a trip I have planned to the UK in January.
It took my airline reservations perfectly (UA), but since none of my hotels are major chains it recognizes, I put those in manually; it took a few minutes, but it looks quite nice. I also entered several notes -- one for miscelleneous information like pass and insurance numbers, contact info like the UK mobile #, and events like theater tickets. It all looks quite nice. I plan to print a copy and leave it for my housesitter, and also to put a copy inside one of those Magellan luggage tags that holds your whole itinerary.
I do wish there was a way to prevent maps from auto-loading; it seems to slow down the page quite a bit.
I did send them feedback (about adding trains and a few other things) and received a response from a human almost immediately, so I do think feedback is actually read.
