Tripl, one of those “trip-named” social travel startups, has done a pivot already, after raising about $300K in funding earlier this year. The service once tried to link friends (and friends of friends) who might be traveling (or living) in the same area, but now builds a beautiful infographic of you and your friends’ travel history, complete with fun facts, imagery, and maps.
