Below are two popular travel itinerary websites. How would you incorporate one of this into the given scenario? Please post below with links to the example you've set up and/or e-mail to susan.stansberry@okstate.edu.

Dopplr []

Dopplr is one of the better known future location services. Dopplr lets you share your future travel plans with your friends and colleagues. The service then highlights coincidence, for example, telling you that three people you know will be in Paris when you will be there too.

You can use Dopplr on your computer or your mobile phone and it links with on-line calendars and social networks so it easy to update your future locations.

Placely []

Placely also lets you plan a travel itinerary. Once you have entered a planned trip Placely will give you a page with maps from Google, a five-day weather forecast and content from Yelp.com.

With Placely it is easy to share your itinerary with friends and colleagues and see if their travel plans overlap with yours. On a Google Map you can see how close your friends are to your location and you can synchronize schedules with your friends.

National Geographic Traveller [] may also be very helpful.
