Are you a Dopplr?
Do you consider yourself an intelligent business traveler? I thought you would say yes. Are you a Dopplr? I am and you should be. Dopplr is an online service that links to your online calendars and social networks to let you share you travel plans with friends or colleagues. Key features include the “fellow travelers list” and “my journal”. The “fellow travelers list” lets me see any of my contacts travel schedules and keeps me up to date on who will be where when. “My journal” keeps a record of what I have been doing and what my friends are up to. For example Dopplr knows I am going to be in NYC June 10th - 13th, it also knows my friend Greg will be there and reminds me to ping him for coffee. Doppler also has tips for every city. So when you are traveling to a new city or are looking for something great to eat for dinner in a city you visit often, if you peak at the “tips for this city” page you will find tips and recommendations on any topic from your trusted network. Ok, one more cool thing and then I will let you check it out for yourself. Do you wonder about the carbon impact from all of the traveling you do? Dopplr and AMEE offer a carbon calculator that graphs your travel carbon impact.

i heart nike too! but i do wear my adidas shoes to the gym:)
great blog! congratulations. i had started one several years ago but never kept it up. where do you find the time? do you ever sleep?
hope things are going well in az and can’t wait to see you when you are in town. we’ll definitely go get dinner and drinks - actually no drinks for me, i’m on a 21-day detox from alcohol, sugar, caffiene and gluten. so far, so good. but it’s only been 2 days!
