If their companies let them, business travelers using the latest version of TRX's corporate-booking tool, RESX, can book their trips and then share them on TripIt and Facebook.
After making a booking using RESX, travelers would get prompted -- if their companies enable the feature -- to share trips with their TripIt and Facebook networks.
Then again, perhaps company A won't want parts of the TripIt network to find out that its business development officer is traveling to company B for fear that someone in company C might find out.
But, that's another story.
TRX plans to add other social-networking functionality soon as vice president of product development David Jackson, adds: "Embracing these and other traveler empowering technologies is the next logical step for corporate booking solutions given the widespread and growing use for social applications."
The social networking twist is just one of the new features in the souped up RESX v9.12.
TRX says the user interface, navigation, controls and messaging also have been enhanced.
For example, three new sections -- My Trips, Bulletin Board and My Dashboard -- have been given prominent display space. So has an older feature, My Messages, which previously wasn't allocated such prominent real estate.
At sign-in, My Messages displays notifications about expiring credit cards, passports and passwords, for example.
My Dashboard is geared for corporate travel planners and administrators and it provides a bunch of reporting capabilities.
