From new shoes to new paint jobs, Virgin Atlantic has had quite the push into 2011, and their latest in-flight distraction is just one more thing to add to the list.

Until long-haul in-flight becomes the must-have travel accessory, Virgin Atlantic has a temporary solution to help you get your social media fix while traveling here and there. The airline’s Travel Tip Catcher is just part of the larger vTravelled community, and they’re looking for passengers to share all their travel tips and tricks...while one the plane! ]]> kjb 2011-05-23T10:40:49-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/6/23/10507/2494

Hot on the heels of Virgin Atlantic's 25th Anniversary flight and celebration, good old Richard Branson is launching yet another new product into the travel ring. But this time, it's not a spaceship or a smartphone; it's a website: vtravelled.

Taking serious inspiration from Dopplr, vtravelled focuses its content around "Trip Pods" that you create for each of your trips. In their words, a Trip Pod is "a tool to store and organise travel ideas and aspirations. It’s easy to bookmark content from other sites and then share with friends and family to create the ultimate itinerary." These pods are then scattered around a map of the world, powered by Google, with each featuring a photo that you have to upload. ]]> JetSetCD 2009-06-23T11:16:13-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
