State Department 7 years, 4 months agoAdam,

State Department 9 years, 4 months agoDavid Eaves just wrote a pretty interesting post about bringing new tech to foreign affairs organizations that I thought everyone here might want to read. One of the things he suggests is a TripIt-esque app for citizens traveling abroad. Good idea/bad idea?
