Looks like we killed their server - getting a 503 over quota error. Is Producthunted the new Fireballed?

@ZacDavies woops!

@ZacDavies @bramk The traffic spike and user registration was totally unexpected! But that was a fantastic problem to have, so really, thank you!!

Site is down (503 over quota). What is the difference between flightfox (https://flightfox.com/) and Zyppos ?
Anuj Adhiya
@digitalbase I had the same question - why/when would I pick one over the other
Guillermo Ginesta
@digitalbase checking in on behalf of Zyppos. The main difference is that with Flightfox you only work with one researcher (sort of like a travel agent), that you choose at the beginning of the process, and then you're stuck with them. With Zyppos, you have the entire community/network of experts working for you and competing to get you the lowest fares and best itineraries. You can then mark your favourite expert and they get notified if you have any contests in the future. The idea is to assign you your favourite expert, while also making sure they have an incentive to always get you the best results.

@digitalbase @anujadhiya It could be a matter of preference, but you'd pick Zyppos any time you want to take advantage and leverage a whole network of experts rather than just one travel agent. If either of you would like a 'test run' shoot us a tweet and we'd happy to arrange one - on us!

Ok so essentially this is like 99Designs but for your next flight. You enter the details of the trip you want to make and create a contest. Zyppos connects you to the best experts and flight hackers across the world so you always get the best flights and lowest fares. For only $40 you get 5 experts to look at your flight and an offer within 36hrs. There are 2 examples of companies in The Netherlands that have people working for them who like to figure out the best tactics to get the lowest price on flights - think this is a hot niche

Sounds interesting. Site doesn't really work on mobile though.
