Are you a Jetsetter?
I was commenting on some photos on Facebook when I noticed that a couple of my fellow blogging friends, including the Happy Hotelier and Chris Clarke, had added a new application called Jetsetter, developed by VibeAgent. Although the interface is nothing spectacular and the profile candy is a little large for my liking, the application itself is very simple and fun. In their words…
Are you a Jetsetter? See how many miles you’ve traveled this year, and how you stack up against your friends! Let your friends know what trips you’re going on and see which of your friends will be there when you are.
Although I understand the basic concept of the application, the functionality is still a little bit limited. I did find the mileage calculation for the flights a useful feature, in fact I used it to compare to my Aeroplan miles to make sure I was getting credit for the appropriate miles. Here are some things I’d like to see from the Jetsetter app:
- A more intuitive way to find people that are going on future trips.
- A map feature that shows where my fleet is located in relation to me. Part of the reason why I’ve had to fly more than the rest of my friends is because I live in Canada and everyone else lives in Europe.
- A smaller profile badge. The current one is a little too big for my taste. I’ll tolerate it for now but not for too much longer.
- Being ranked is fun but what else is there? Is there more?
All in all, it’s a fun little app with a lot of potential. You can add it by going visiting the Jetsetter App Page.

Stephen,
Thanks for your post on Jetsetter! We love getting user feedback, especially the sort that is as thoughtful as yours.
We’re already in the process of re-designing our profile page badge to make it smaller, so look for that update soon.
I think the development philosophy we have used with Jetsetter is to create a solid foundation and then let the community drive new features. I think your ideas are solid and we’ll definitely use your advice to drive the application development. We want Jetsetter to evolve with our user base
Talk soon,
Adam
VibeAgent CEO
