For all those people that spend too much time on the road but want to have a life comes [Dopplr](http://www.dopplr.com/). I know a lot of people that will put up with living by shuttling between airports, hotels and Starbucks , that all look and feel the same wherever you are in the world, where the only question is: how much does the wifi cost? Wouldn’t it be good to hook up with others that actually want to do something, like visit that dive bar, or museum or whatever. Dopplr is another great example of a declarative living platform. I only just joined the service, and it has not given me any of those – wow, that’s awesome – moments yet. But what I am noticing is that service virality is kicking in: my network is quickly moving onto the service, with my fellow twitterers coming online. Two questions though [Dopplr devs](http://www.hackdiary.com/archives/000104.html)– where is the blog, and where is the API?

Dopplr is the hotness, but Scoble [isn’t blogging it yet](http://technorati.com/search/scobleizer+dopplr) so its not the super hotness, though I do know [he is in SF tonight](http://scobleizer.com/2007/05/01/blogger-dinner-tonight-in-sf/). Hey Robert- would you like an invite?

update: [Andy](http://twitter.com/andypiper/statuses/47067632) and [Elsua](http://twitter.com/elsua/statuses/47057852) are both major fans already. Doppler is the del.icio.us of social travel planning.
