Hi All, thanks for your support for Bucket (Likebucket.com), an innovative trip technology.
We built this product to solve trip planning. What we saw people do when they plan trips was open 20 different tabs on a web browser and copy and paste ideas that were interesting to them into a word document. So they'd go to Tripadvisor and Frommer's, and copy and paste ideas that were personalized to them -- same thing for friend recommendations over Facebook or Email.
The result, was that they had 4-5 different pages of all the things they wanted to do, but no good way to actually decide, and go. That's why we built Bucket.
Bucket (Likebucket.com), parses free form text from any source (online or friends) and any device to create your own personalized trip plan. We extract the places, keep the context of the original post, and add all the information you would need (photos, ratings, reviews, where it is on a map) to decide and go.
Think translating a site like Frommer's or a friend's email trip suggestions --> something that looks like an actionable Pinterest board in under a minute.
We're in beta right now in Northern California. We'd love feedback and suggestions for features of where we should go next!
