Gogobot, a social travel website has now come out with an app for the iPhone. The app allows iPhone users to create and share real-time digital postcards, find nearby restaurants, hotels and attractions, and access personalized trip plans. “Travel is all about discovering new experiences and sharing them with your friends and family," said Travis Katz, Gogobot co-founder and CEO. "With the Gogobot App you can capture, personalize, and instantaneously share your favorite moments with richly-styled digital postcards, as well as explore what’s nearby and what your friends have recommended.”Gogobot on the iPhone

The app allows users to select their current location, snap a photo and choose from more than ten different styles and filters to transform their photos (or photos from Gogobot’s extensive catalogue) into geo-tagged digital postcards. Users can rate the places they have been to on the fly, write reviews and share the postcards immediately with friends via Facebook or Twitter. Each postcard is added automatically to a user’s Gogobot Guide on Gogobot.com.

The Gogobot App also allows users to access the trip plans that they’ve created on their Gogobot.com profiles, including maps, reviews and more. Additionally, the ‘Nearby’ function lists restaurants, hotels and attractions automatically based on a user's location. Similar to Gogobot.com, the app sorts destinations based on your friends’ ratings.

Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
