HipGeo is a free app that can create a sort of travel blog on the fly with as much or as little user input as you like. It tracks your location, allows you to add comments and photos, and can even playback an animated map of your travels. You can keep your travel info to yourself as sort of a diary, or share your adventures via Facebook, Twitter or email. Alternatively, publish your info to the world through a web page or using the app itself. HipGeo also shows posts from people nearby who've elected to make their locations public. I didn't see a lot of activity near me, but I did see some public posts from the bigger nearby cities, and a lot of activity at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

HipGeo, contender to lead the next generation of location-based social services, has taken the platform leap and released a public API and location widgets for third-party developers. The free tools are available at hipgeo.com/developer. The HipGeo iPhone app launched in September.

Today's API release gives developers a starting point to build those kinds of features into their own apps. "We give developers the ability to add a 'where' to their 'when' without having to build the technology on their own," says HipGeo CEO Scott Daniel. Trips recorded with HipGeo can be shared via links or embedded, making travels into a social adventure. We tested out the iPhone app when it launched, and every screen impressed us. The all-star team, including former Yahoo execs Scott Daniel, Jeff Kunzelman and Read More
