Gowalla announces shared trips

Filed under: Software , Freeware , iPhone , App Store There’s a growing battle lately on the App Store over “check-in” apps — Foursquare , Gowalla , and MyTown have all seen big gains in users lately (and a few other contenders have been roaming the periphery ), and it looks like we’re starting to see some innovation in the mix. Gowalla recently updated their free app [ iTunes link ], and introduced a new feature called Shared Trips. These are more or less tours (or a line of check-ins at different places around a given city), but they can feature all kinds of things: a set of bars, interesting buildings to see, the old bookstore/coffeeshop run, or any other ideas Gowalla users have.
