Facebook-friendly travel site
A newly launched “social travel’’ website, Gtrot.com, syncs with Facebook and lets users share their trip information. Gtrot.com members can search through trip data by destination, date range, or friend to answer questions such as: Where are my friends going on spring break? Will anyone I know be in Cancún when I’m there? Who has been to Dublin? Users can book flights and hotels through the website and take advantage of a “copycat booking’’ feature that lets friends make identical travel arrangements. The site contains tools that enable students to share rides between campus and the airport, save money, and reduce environmental impact. Gtrot.com, founded by two Harvard University students, has nearly 1,500 members at colleges across the country — but you don’t have to be a student to join. www.gtrot.com.
