Babies, Beacons And Travel

Paul announces the news that he and Dana have a new addition to the family.  Sleep deprivation has set in big time but he still manages to sound coherent this week.

We get a Beacons update (if you haven't signed up for a weekly Beacons newsletter, do it now) and Paul has started messing with some pretty cool stats on what folks are actually talking about right now.

Paul asks Ed about some travel tools he uses to hack his travel.  Ed's 3 top travel tools right now:

1. Expert Flyer allows you to search inventory for paid and award flights across dozens of airlines and set alerts for what you're searching for.
2.  Flighty is a new app that helps you deal with travel problems when they arise. Ed interviewed the founder recently and Flighty has already saved him a coupe of times when flights got delayed or canceled.
3. Point.me allows you to search over 30 airline loyalty programs with just a few clicks to maximize you airline miles and credit card points.

That leads to a discussion as to why "small apps" can be game changers for consumers and founders.

We'd love it if you'd leave us a rating.  It takes less than a minute and really helps us out.  Just click here!
