The online travel booking company, Travelstart, just launched a new service that allows users get travel deals based on their unique locations. Simply by Yo’ing at Travelstart, users can deploy this service. But what on earth is Yo’ing anyway?

It’s what you do when you ping on Yo, the zero-character mobile app which allows you send simple messages to friends, networks and companies listed/signed up on the service by simply tapping your way around the app.

“We are now listed in the Yo Index, a list of services that users who are in discovery mode can subscribe to for real time information,” says Travelstart. “[We are] the first online travel agency to offer location based deals to book directly within the Yo app screen.”

Last month, Travelstart acquihired Satisfly, the social intelligence company which Travelstart claimed would allow it gain valuable insights into the way customers interact across various channels, as well as be more relevant with client-facing deals. The new service is the first offering from Travelstart since the acquisition.
