Are you so intertwined with your computer, BlackBerry and iCal that you don't use Post-it notes anymore? Do you miss them? Duffelup.com brings back the simplicity of travel planning with virtual stickies.
What's hot: Creating a travel itinerary with a corkboard and virtual Post-it notes puts the fun back in online travel planning. (But FYI, create-your-own travel itineraries are not new. NileGuides, TripWolf, TravelMuse and many other Web sites offer similar features.) On this one, you drag and drop your stickies into the different days of your trip itinerary. You can clip ideas from anywhere on the Web with the ``bookmarklet'' tool so you don't you have to retype the info. If you're just starting, don't skip the helpful demo video.
What's not: You can browse other travelers' itineraries for popular cities in ``Duffel Central,'' but they're categorized only by how recent they are. This would be more helpful if Duffel spotlighted a few common trips by length of stay. Why not, for instance, ``a weekend in Vegas,'' ``a week in London'' or even ``the best of Australia in two weeks''?
