We’ve been keeping an eye on new Twitter travel tools, and here’s one we really like. It’s a new site called happn.in. The idea here is simple: the site creates ‘local’ trend watchers for top cities around the world (Amsterdam to San Francisco, Sydney to London, a few dozen more so far) and displays the top 5 Twitter terms that are trending for each destination. You can dig deeper into each destination (up to 10 topics per city currently) and follow the individual tweets as they catch your fancy.
Happn.in - the future of travel recommendations?
Good idea, folks. Wish we had thought of it. There are some kinks to work out, for sure. I don’t know if “xbox live” is really the #1 trend in about a dozen cities right now. C’mon, please tell us it ain’t so!
On the flip side, there’s a decent chance that “modern warfare” is, in fact, the second-most talked about subject in New York today. For sure.
