Okay, business travellers, this one is for you. We’ve been travelling a lot this year, and we know that a lot of our readers are frequenting the roads and air in search of that next big deal, too. In our search for something to keep us organized, we found Tripit. We really liked it because we didn’t have to book anything through the app—we just added in the details of our itinerary as we created them and it kept all our stuff in one place. Here’s what we liked: • You can create a number of trips to maintain at the same time, and add to your itinerary simply by forwarding confirmations through email. • You can share details with others (group trip for that big conference? Meeting a client out west?) • You can track your reward points within the app (on a Pro version, with an annual cost). • Make dinner reservations, buy movie tickets, and it works with rail and rentals, too.

Now that our first and favorite accelerator program can be found in both Greenville and Spartanburg, it’s hard to keep up with what startups are coming out of the Iron Yard program. But there’s much more to the program than just start-ups, so take a look at the Iron Yard site to keep track of Demo Days, who’s in the new class, and signup dates for applications to participate in coding classes and more.
