Social travel planning site Kukunu has launched in public beta,
The Next Web reports. "Instead of
having endless notes piling up, Kukunu gives you a collaborative area where you and your travel partner(s) can pick hotels, suggest attractions and share ideas," it reports. The startup also said that
it's raised $400,000 from Seedcamp, Jaina Capital, and Kima Ventures. "Of course, there are other sites out there that let you collaborate remotely ... However, to this point we've not yet seen one
that focuses onto a single subject, and that's where Kukunu really excels."
Facebook and Twitter sharing are built directly into Kukunu. Meanwhile, a drag and drop calendar interface is
designed for easy organization. Rather than compete with every travel service on the Web, the startup is wisely teaming up with companies like Booking.com, Expedia, Opentable and Viator. In turn, its
users can directly access more than 100,000 hotels and 200,000 activities, restaurants and sights.
