Placely: A New Build, Cured At Least One Major Design Flaw

I got a message from the CEO of Placely through the service:

[via Placely]

Hi Stowe —

My name is Denis Khoo and I am the CEO of Placely. I wanted to personally extend a warm welcome to you.

We saw your comment about Placely on your blog, and took immediate action. We just released a new build last night, and you are the first to be informed of this. I hope you enjoy the latest build, and we appreciate any opinions and suggestions you might have. We want to do whatever it takes to make the application useful for frequent travelers such as yourself.

Happy travels!

Regards,

Denis Khoo

I had dissed the product, because, right off the bat, I determined that the only way to find upcoming trips was to wander through a month-by-month style calendar. Well; they have remedied that:

So now I guess I will have to take a deeper walk through the solution, and see what it offers in comparison to Dopplr and TripIt. As I recently wrote, I am using both of those apps now, for different and complementary reasons.
