TripSay blog

We have just finished a major overhaul on our site. The basic features are still there, but the layout and usability has improved a lot. Now everything should be much easier than before. And cooler… and more fun! We are very excited about our new site and we hope you feel the same way too. Your feedback has been most valuable for us for reorganizing the site! Thank you!

At the same time we changed our name to TripSay, which should be easier to remember and can be associated with travel instantly. To our large surprise also the domain name was available. From now on you can access the site at www.tripsay.com. Old usernames and passwords will work just as before with www.vailoma.com.

We have several cool ideas what to do next, so please keep checking the site and keep that feedback coming to help us develop a better service!

We have created a new application we call the Destination Module. The purpose of that embeddable application is to share our content with our travel agency partners so that they’d get interesting destination content from the web and travelers onto their site without any work. You can check it out on our site or the first implementation we’ve done with Kaleva Travel, one of Finland’s largest travel agencies. Check out the application at e.g. their San Francisco page. The page is in Finnish only and you need to scroll down a bit on the page to find it.

This is a great way for any travel agent, travel content site or whom ever for that matter to add a wealth of destination information on their website. Everything is updated dynamically from our servers so that our partners don’t need to worry about adding content. You only need to include a short javascript to your page and that’s it. Give it a try and spread the word!

And yes, we’re also planning to add an API for partners that wish to create more tailored applications from our data. That will be released later when we have the time to work more on it.
