This morning, TripIt was featured by FOX Business in their national “Money for Breakfast” TV segment with Nicole Petallides.
A TV interview is generally a surreal experience and today’s was even moreso, as I woke up at 3am to join FOX prior to the stock market opening. After a leisurely drive along a completely deserted California Street, I got settled in at the local FOX studio in San Francisco. I say “studio” but the whole operation in San Francisco was run by one guy – he came downstairs to let me in, provided coffee and ran the camera too. Pretty amazing! The seven-second delay between the viewing monitor and my headset just added to the feeling of oddness. I’ve got a lot of respect for all those TV anchors—that’s not easy.
What is easy is to forget that on the other end of the camera is a massive TV viewing audience. While there wasn’t time to cover all the great things that TripIt offers, hopefully I covered enough to peak the interest of some more road warriors and leisure travelers out there.

Fox is part of media leader News Corp. and worthy of analysis that doesn’t resort to simplistic stereotyping.
