Fortune magazine has an extremely kind item about Dopplr in an article entitled “Web 2.0 gets down to business” — a look at how applications such as this one are becoming a vital part of modern business. The magazine quotes several Dopplr users including JP Rangaswami, a managing director at British Telecom:

(He) has become a heavy user of this tool for sharing travel itineraries. (He also has 500 friends in Facebook and follows 300 on Twitter.) Before Dopplr, which launched last December, it took repeated e-mails to keep contacts informed of his whereabouts. Now his 140 Dopplr contacts know where he is at any moment.

“You can really optimize your time when traveling,” says Rangaswami. One Dopplr friend recently saw he was going to Dublin and out of the blue recommended a good Indian restaurant.
