Dopplr is an online service for intelligent business travellers. It lets you share your future travel plans with a group of trusted fellow travellers that you have chosen.

Here are few fun facts about Dopplr
Dopplr? Is that name supposed to mean something?
Yes. It’s named after Christian Doppler, the 19th Century Austrian scientist who came up with the hypothesis for what became known as the Doppler effect. That’s something we’ve all experienced when an emergency vehicle goes by with its siren on. The siren’s pitch is higher before it gets to you, and the pitch drops as it passes. You may also have heard of Doppler Radar—a method that weather forecasters use to measure the direction and velocity of storms.

Why do you spell “Traveller” with two “l’s” instead of one?
Ah, are you from the U.S.? We’re based in Europe where the U.K. spelling is the one we’ve followed, rather than the American usage.

Why would using this make my life better?
The main purpose, is to keep in better touch with friends and colleagues as we travel the globe.
