A few weeks ago, our partership with DERI was officially announced and received good coverage including the sunday Business Post and twice the Irish Times. The best review, "how the intelligent web can plan the perfect holliday" was written by Marie Boran at Silicon Republic.  Marie interviewed us and grasp the concept of TripPlanr very well.

"an intelligent application that will suck in data from travel sites, blogs, social networks etc and come up with a customised trip best suited to the individual."

The story

Last Summer, Conor and I went up to Deri to make a presentation on a proposed trip planning application. We met with John Breslin and Conor Hayes and decided to apply for an Innovation Partnership grant where Deri would build a Recommendation Engine for our trip planner. We were approved. Deri recruited developpers and now a team of 5 is working out the best model that will make TripPlanr smart.
