Bumped.in: Helping Make Fellow Travellers Into Friends

There has always been the random chance of meeting a potential friend, business partner, or lover while traveling. Bumped.in helps facilitate these serendipitous meetings by matching up other travellers with similar interests and itineraries.

Mashable reports:

After signing up and filling out your profile, you can use Bumped.in to add plane and train trips to start your own digital travel logs — a.k.a Bump Walls. You can use the Bump Walls to share photos and status update-like notes about each trip. Trips can be one-time-only voyages or of the everyday commuter variety, and you can share them privately with friends or publicly with others.

You can also use the site to uncover nearby hotels or dining hotspots, and take advantage of the FacebookFacebook integration to publish travel log entries to the social networking site, and to find friends already using Bumped.in.

Bumped.in also works to introduce and connect travelers with similar interests who are destined to cross paths (and may never know it) on the same flight or train ride.
