iPhone loves Travel Channel GO

By Chris Ackermann on June 24, 2008

Travel Channel GO's iPhone web application is now available on Apple's iPhone/iPod Touch web applications portal - so, if you have one of these magical devices, you can now add our exciting local search service directly from our friends at Apple.

Or if you're holding out for that shiny new iPhone 3G (and who isn't?) - be sure to add Travel Channel GO as soon as walk out of the store to start searching for your favorite things nearby!  You'll certainly be in need of a nice caffeine fix after braving the long lines for your new toy....

Travel Channel GO Beta - Now Available!

By Chris Ackermann on June 23, 2008

With the kickoff of the summer travel season, we've now made Travel Channel GO available for travelers everywhere!  Now everyone can use this exciting new mobile service from the Travel Channel - whether you're looking for the nearest museum while on a vacation or seeking out the nearest ATM in your own hometown, Travel Channel GO has you covered.

Travel Channel GO isn't your ordinary mobile local search service - we like to refer to it as your very own 'personal radar'.  Not only does Travel Channel GO give you access to over 10 million local points of interest available right at your fingertips when you need to find something - but it also keeps searching for you as your travel from place to place.  Just tell us about your favorite things and we'll let you know when they're nearby.  For example, if you're like me and love sushi, Travel Channel GO will always let you know about the closest sushi restaurants no matter where you are in the United States - for me, that's a critical piece of information whenever I'm in a new place!

We'd love for you to check out Travel Channel GO and let us know what you think - we're looking to you to help us continuously make the service more and more useful for travelers everywhere!

Travel Channel GO, in Private Beta

By Chris Ackermann on June 4, 2008

I'm personally excited to announce that we have taken Travel Channel GO into private beta. This is a really exciting mobile application as it combines over 10 million points of reference and over 2,000 Travel Channel exclusive recommendations and content.

We believe this is what users of mobile location-based applications have been dying for: great and professionally produced content about sites, attractions, restaurants, hotel recommendations, etc.

I'll be blogging here about new features and updates to the system.

Glad to part of the next generation in mobile applications.
