Triposo is a social travel site and application created by ex-Google Dutch brothers Richard Osinga and Douwe Osinga with the help of Jon Tirsen.[1] During development, Triposo received $3.5million worth of funding.[4] In August 2012, a second version of Triposo was released which included location-based software which allowed the app to tell the user recommendations depending on the weather, time, and other variables.[5] The app has reportedly been downloaded 10 million times.[6]

The app, available for iOS and Android, will show the user recommendations on where to go depending on information they've given to the app.[7] This includes Facebook details.[8] The app works without internet connection.[9] In order for the app to work without connectivity, it downloads information about the users destination before departure.[10]
