Triposo is a social travel site and application created by ex-google Dutch brothers Richard Osinga and Douwe Osinga with the help of Jon Tirsen.[1] During development, Triposo received $3.5million worth of funding.[4] In August of 2012, version 2 of Triposo was released, it included an algorithmic model which allowed the app to tell the user recommendations depending on the weather, time, etc.[5] The app has gotten over 10 million downloads.[6]
Usage
The app, available for iOS and Android, will give the user recommendations on where to go depending on the information they've given to the app.[7] This includes Facebook details.[8] The app works in offline mode (without internet connection).[9] The app downloads information about the location you're going to before you leave thus allowing the app to work when there's no connectivity.[10]
