Wikitravel, Yahoo Trip Planner, TripAdvisor for research and ideas. TripIt feeding iCal data to Dopplr (mostly works). - Jauder Ho

especially as it works on my moblie phone - Jonathan Jesse

wouldja add UpTake.com to the list? (and before u bash our home page only 5% of our traffic starts there lol) - Elliott Ng

www.tripntale.com - darwin

http://www.goldentulip.com, working for this chain though.. - Marcel van der Laan

How could I have missed this post? Wego @ http://www.wego.com . Disclaimer: I am a Web Developer with Wego. - Winston Teo

yowtrip.com - Luca Filigheddu

http://www.wolpy.com - For tracking your travels - Ana Belén Ramón

http://www.viatribe.com - a travel writer community, and a great resource for quality reviews - Dana

http://www.londontown.com/hotelma... - All London hotels on a map, real time bookings - James

The easiest way to find where to stay is http://www.seeyourhotel.com. Which is a site we did. For flight it's http://www.kayak.com. - Jean-Francois Noel

This list (+FF thread) is awesome! I also find it entertaining that for once instead of retweeting Scoble, he referenced my tweet :P - Abbas Haider Ali

I'll also add in my vote for TripAdvisor, I don't go anywhere new without checking there first. And Hotwire for hotels (if trip is 100% confirmed). I get ridiculous deals on Hotwire for 5 stars hotels in great 'hoods in specific cities like Atlanta, Toronto, Montreal, and London. - Abbas Haider Ali

This is a great list. I'm happy to share our recently launched company, www.AirBedandBreakfast.com. The international, peer-to-peer travel site allows you to book rooms with locals, instead of hotel rooms. In addition to saving money, the host becomes your guidebook, offering a local perspective on things like nightlife, coffee shops, events, and sites to see. - Joe, co-founder - AirBed & Breakfast

I use VMlive.com on my blackberry. The ability to forward the itinerary from my AMEX based corporate travel dept. and have all the details of flights, rental car and hotel at my finger tips is great. The feature of how it integrates with blackberry is particularly valuable. Check it out! - Tim FitzGerald

Abbas, I like TripAdvisor too. That's why UpTake searches TripAdvisor, Yahoo!, Virtual Tourist, and 1000 other sites with reviews all at once. Try it out! (disclosure: I am UpTake co-founder) - Elliott Ng

mozilla.com STILL says 2! whats the deal?? http://www.mozilla.com/en-US... - Jeremy Toeman

I got the final install a few minutes ago using the direct links over on my blog. http://scobleizer.com - Robert Scoble

It took forever for stodgy old companies to switch from Lotus to Exchange... will it be any different switching to Google? Maybe even slower since Google isn't thought of as a typical software developer... - Chrimmus Tad

Terry: it will take a very long time, but Google can totally limit the growth that Microsoft is hoping to see. Remember, there are six billion people and only one has been on a computer. The next five are what matters to these tech companies. What's the likelihood that they'll get onto a Microsoft Exchange server? - Robert Scoble

My bets are on a leotard-clad flying Google man that flies into your office window and does an Irish jig. - Dimitri Glazkov

Ummmm... Hello? Zimbra? - Stephen Foskett

But aren't many companies (or some already) working to get rid of email and replace it with collaboration sites/wikis/etc? - Bill Bittner

I doubt the other 5 billion will ever own what we think of as a PC. I guess they'll still probably use email on their iPhone v3 or whatever. ;) - Chrimmus Tad

I totally agree, This change is everything but easy. But it is what people is asking for since years ago. So, no matter how difficult it'd may be, companies, at least, will consider it, and that's what MS should be afraid of. - Hernan Garcia

Whatever it does, I'll be happy to see someone turn the heat on Microsoft. - Yuvi

As bleeding edge tech geeks I think we all presume that everyone likes Gmail. However, this is totally not true. I've been trying to get my wife off Yahoo Mail to Gmail (and she prefers the old vrs too), but she just doesn't like it. "It's OK," she says, but Yahoo mail just works the way she's used to. I think this will be the same for Exchange/Outlook. - Daniel Shaw

@Daniel, yeah that was the case with LotusNotes too. It finally started looking REALLY dated and started smelling... - Chrimmus Tad

I think it's not about likes or dislikes, it's about who will be the next real threat to MS exchange. And I do not see anyone else on the horizont but Gmail. - Hernan Garcia

I tend to agree with Bill Bittner. I think Email, as it exists today, will be replaced with collaboration ... thingies. - Richard

Many of my big clients are still using Notes... I don't think they will switch for a long time. For small business that already uses it, this would allow them to grow and keep using GMail. - Jean-Francois Noel

Any gossip on them hitting the VAR channels? Most my Exchange servers I manage for my clients are 3-5 years old and I'm trying to get them to hold out on upgrading a little longer. I see Email being a totally hosted service in the SMB. The hosted service model is becoming as sophisticated as local software. - Christopher Dickens

What, nobody's biting on the flying-Google-man gossip? - Dimitri Glazkov

Been hearing the same rumblings. - Mike Reynolds

Bill - check out Xobni...threads together Outlook and features even more inbox organization (I've got one more invite, if you're interested) - Martha Shaughnessy

Xobni does look cool. And I did get an invite a while back. But I haven't installed it yet. However, I question IT approving it for use for our whole company. But who knows. - Bill Bittner
