Perfect iPhone app for traveling

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of MyTies. All opinions are 100% mine.

I'm totally not bitter about this, OK.  Even though I kinda invented it.  Not that these people have any idea that I think I kinda invented it.  Also, I never really told anyone.  But I did have an idea about just such an app and here it is- ready for download and FREEEEEEE (I totally would have charged for it!)

So check out MyTies.com and look at how awesome it is.  It maps out your contacts, and lets you send out notes to your friends, privately.  You create groups and can choose who sees the notes.  So if I'm visiting California and I want to see which of my friends are available for lunch, i can send out a note to the relevant group inviting them to meet me for dinner. We plan to use this a lot when we're traveling because we have so many friends and family all over the country and our friends are all in distinctive groups- there's the cousins (you wouldn't believe how many) and the unschoolers, the business friends, the other writer-moms,  bloggers, clients, old friends, hula hoopers... And I just love the idea of arriving in a strange city and sending a note "we're here" and then just hanging out until whoever comes to visit.  That's so cool.

ALSO- check out this promo code - if you use “myprivacy”, you can invite an extra 20 users within the app, giving you an opportunity to connect with more friends and family. If you're like us, then that's a very big deal!

So what will YOU use My Ties for?  And how on earth do you travel without it?
