Users create their own travel boards on T Rippy and write about where they want to go. Trippy will then automatically find out from the user's Facebook and other social media friends who have travelled or lived in these destinations, listed their names for reference, and incorporated their ideas into a tailored travel plan, through content search and analysis.　　In case the user's friends have not been to these places, trippy will automatically from the database and fac-tual.com and other G Oogleplaces website, search for appropriate content for reference. What's even more interesting is that when you actually travel along this route, you can keep up to date with new discoveries and pictures of your travels, and give feedback to your friends who have given advice. and friends see you because of their own advice and have a good journey, this "gift Rose, hand fragrance" of happiness, will further encourage them to share further.　　And your route, the future will become another friend of the updated more comprehensive strategy, so that the snowball roll bigger.
