The Priceline.com Negotiator might not be lookin' so fresh n' fierce after this one-two punch. A website created by Robert W. Corty '10 and Zachary V. Smith '09 packs a double whammy in merging traditional means of organization with new, powerful social networking tools in an attempt to revolutionize the way we travel.

The clean, user-friendly interface of gtrot.com calls a certain phrase to mind. Does it float like a butterfly? Sure, why not. But see, after the jump, how its innovative approach to traveling "connected" promises to stings competitors like, well...a bee.

Originally called Get Out of Cambridge (like you didn't think about it during finals), gtrot.com has its humble beginnings in a final project whose success soon outgrew its name. After winning a competition for student entrepreneurs, Gtrot went live in September 2009 as a website in which users can search top travel brands for the best prices and then store their bookings on a personal profile to share and compare plans with friends.

"There are Web sites for sharing car rides, booking tickets and, of course, social networking. Gtrot, a Web site that launched today, plans to combine them all," wrote Tanya Mohn on September 11, 2009 on the New York Times In Transit Blog.

Gtrot pays homage to the former college (ahem, cheap) student ranks of its creators in a sidebar stating that it "provides revolutionary tools for sharing cabs to the airport and rides to/from campus, saving you money while helping the environment."

And that basically means that doubling up and hopping over to Logan just got easier. And cheaper. Which is what really matters to most of us at the end of the day.

The prospect of holding on to more green while being green also makes for overall $unnier dispositions. Feedback from gtrot users is overwhelmingly positive, even on independent review-based websites like rateitall.com.

"This is one of the coolest tools I've seen for booking travel and sharing trip information with friends. The site's completely integrated with Facebook, so you never have to create an account and it automatically finds your friends," wrote one account-holder.
