Travel Web site Gogobot’s launch this week of an iPhone app that provides travelers with an interactive trip planner–and a nifty postcard creator–makes so much sense that one is baffled about why they did not launch it sooner.
True, the travel business that allows users to tap into their social networks for travel tips and recommendations only went public in November. Add to that the fact that the San Francisco-based company, despite a full year of great press, remains small with only six engineers. But what could be more mobile-worthy than travel? Why start with a travel Web site at all?
