Stranded? There’s an App for That

Let’s face it: These days delays are more common, security breaches are the crisis du jour, and getting to your final destination when expected is a rare occurrence. And it seems to me, at least, that being stranded is becoming more commonplace. Now, sleeping on the airport floor may be your idea of a good time, but not for moi. So when I got a press release about the 2.0 Hotel Negotiator App by Priceline.com, I was pretty excited. There’s a coolio Hotel Radar feature which utilizes the iPhone’s compass to hunt down local hotels. Just tap and the app will list the surrounding places where you can get your head in a comfy bed. Bonus: Since the application is by the cost-saving saveurs at Priceline, it allows you to do on-the-spot last-minute booking for up to 50% off the published rate. Take that, linoleum.
