2007 round up

December 26, 2007

2007 was a great year for TravelPod. We started the year off by joining the TripAdvisor family and thanks to some awesome support from our new extended team, we were able to put the pedal to the metal and add features to TP that you’ve be asking for.

Here’s a run down of what we did since then:

  • We grew, big time: 500%+ x more travelers
  • We added the long awaited drag and drop photo uploader  ( yay )
  • Revamp of photo sorting , editing & embedding ( no more sorting alphabetically by title, hooray )
  • We had our 10th birthday
  • Tons of video enhancements ( streaming, embedding, thumbnails, etc… )
  • Photo rating, comments and auto-weaving
  • Lots of enhancements to make TP easier to use
  • Support for your blogs on Facebook, Friendster and Plaxo
  • Added notification options for Facebook
  • Made some enhancements to our maps
  • Moved to new lightening fast and reliable servers at TripAdvisor
  • Launched the Traveler IQ Challenge
  • Redesigned our Homepage ( Amen! )
  • Had our first TravelPod meetup in our new Ottawa office

Thanks for sticking with us throughout the last 10 years. We know that there are lots of options out there for your blogs and we’ll keep pumping out new features in 2008 to make sure that TravelPod is the best place for your travel blogs.

Happy Holidays everyone,

Cheers!
