Today the travel site Gogobot added a smattering of tools to improve e-commerce for its 2.5 million registered users. New partners include the new buzzworthy hotel tracker DealAngel, restaurant reservation site OpenTable and Google Maps.
Gogobot has handed its hotel booking to DealAngel. DealAngel now provides the calendar, real-time pricing and other details for Gogobot users. A nice benefit here for Gogobot users is DealAngel’s Deal Ranking algorithm that organizes rates from poor to excellent.
DealAngel will give users a heads-up if a seemingly good deal will have a price drop at a later date. It describes itself as looking at hotel prices the same way a broker examines the stock market. DealAngel launched earlier this year and, according to TechCrunch, has gotten around $750,000 in funding.
Aside from DealAngel, Gogobot integrates both Google Maps and OpenTable. Google Maps Street View is in the search page for quick exploration around a hotel location. OpenTable reservations are baked in too, so users can choose a hotel, explore the neighborhood and get dinner reservations for their trip without leaving the Gogobot site.
Gogobot was launched by former MySpace executives in 2010 and has raised several million in funding. The site has previously partnered with Expedia, Priceline and other travel websites. According to AppData, the 2011 Gogobot app is currently 85 on Apple’s Free Travel App Chart.
