Twaller – Discover what travellers are tweeting about

Twaller was built with the traveling person in mind. Utilizing oAuth to log in, the goal is to give you up to date travel information being pushed across Twitter. From their own About section:

Twaller is a twitter based service which presents you with real-time travel related updates from people around the world. Our search engine queries and presents relevant tweets at Twitter. We sort updates into locations and categories, providing you an interface to browse tweets at ease.

Tweets tagged with weather and sightseeing will be picked up by the service easier than things that are just random travel related facts. Looking through the other tweets listed on the homepage, anything with a city is easily picked up as well. I could see this being helpful while in a new city or traveling and looking for hot spots, recommendations or just info.

Humorously I thought maybe they had a mobile site since this is for traveling, or even a mobile app. I couldn’t find any yet. But don’t count them out. Just another niche service built around the tons of data in Twitter.

Boarding.fr – find stranded Twitterers at airports

Boarding.fr is just what I need! While you are stranded at the airport simply do the following:

Boarding is fully optimized for a mobile usage. You just have to tweet #boarding along with the airport code to get in touch with the service You’ll get a reply with the list of the other users in the same airport in the last hours.

It then lists you and tells you who else is there at that time! Brilliant and almost like using Brightkite location services I so highly recommend.

Humorously they have a Google mashup on their homepage showing travelers at airports all over the world. Quite a cool tool for the avid traveler like myself (@IdoNotes). The last 100 tweets show on their page at a time.
