i havent really started using plancast yet (theres not enough of a community in miami trying it). I will say, it's one of those things that is useful, has a point, and really could crossover (unlike foursquare imho). I'm very very bullish on the product. congrats on the funding!
Suggestion: If any of the devs see this thread, it'd be great to have privacy settings, so (optionally) only approved folks could see your travel plans.
Edit: After RTFA, I see that "...And after the SXSW madness, the plan is to implement more privacy features, we’re told."
You are not alone in your desire for better privacy controls. Here's kind of what our roadmap has been/will be:
The last few weeks have been focused on the iPhone app and API. I'm guessing the next few weeks will be focused on keeping the site up (it's already gone down once today because of traffic) and working on the overall speed of the site (that's what I'm working on right now).
But after that, Privacy is the next major item on our todo list.
