Let GoPlanIt Plan Your Vacation For You

Web-based travel planning service GoPlanit attempts to take the solo and tedious act of itinerary planning and inject it with a social element. Upon signing up for the service and selecting a destination city, GoPlanit can roll an itinerary for you. GoPlanIt provided me an instant itinerary for New York, which I was able to tweak based on how active or low-key I wanted to be and how much money I had. GoPlanit has a "fill in the gaps" function on its planner which will suggest fun and interesting things to do in between other commitments. GoPlanit also offers support for mobile devices (including an iPhone-optimized mobile site) and a microblogging tool to journal your trip adventures. GoPlanIt is still in beta. During the beta, GoPlanit offers planning for eight major US cities (San Francisco - Los Angeles - New York - Chicago - Las Vegas - Seattle - Boston - Honolulu)
