Great opportunity for 1-2 computer engineers to develop and implement a unique algorithm and web solution for a worldwide travel community.

Background
YouPlanet is a worldwide travel portal launched in June 2008. The current technical platform was created to offer worldwide members a travel community, designed to be a mix of wiki information and editing, unbiased reviews of venues and destinations and a social travel network to maximize the possibilities of travel tips and recommendations. YouPlanet is now a stable Beta version and is ready to take the next step in creating relevant guide and travel information.

Task
YouPlanet is looking for two outstanding developers to design and implement a unique algorithm that will be launched in the next release. Good results will lead to a job offer as well as partnership possibilities in this very lucrative industry.

The new guide algorithm should take several factors into consideration and create a guide that accumulates the member’s activity and input on YouPlanet. “YouPlanet knows where you want to go and what you want to do.” The information is based on the member’s travel history, preferences and network of friends.

YouPlanet will maximize the use of the information we have about our users – the members will get information/inspiration about destinations based on their travel profile. Likely, the member has a similar taste as her friends and YouPlanet will, together with members’ actual travel history, be able to offer a high level of customized travel information and inspiration.

The development will be done in steps:

1. First, become familiar with the YouPlanet service and identify key factors that will be the platform of relevant guide information.
2. Second, develop the algorithm and launch it in a test environment.
3. Finally, integrate the algorithm with the next release of YouPlanet.

Software and technology
YouPlanet is programmed in PHP and Ajax and based on the framework Symfony.
