Online Travel Schlemmerfilet

Schicke Sache für kleine Firmen. Wenn man denn seine Firmenreisedaten per Mail in die Staaten schicken will. Wenn man das macht, hat man eine sehr schicke, elegante Lösung, die so niemand sonst anbietet.

"... Geared for businesses which don’t use trave agencies or have official travel managers and programs, the service is available starting at $29 per month for up to 10 people, TripIt says... "

hipmunk Flugsuche

Fischmarkt schreibt über Hipmunk - ein Startup mit einer neuen Flugsuche.
Netter Ansatz, endlich mal etwas neues zum Thema Flugsuche. Wie vom Fischmarkt beschrieben passiert in der Flugsuche überhaupt gar nichts, das sieht alles gleich aus seit hundert Jahren.

Google Instant is just the beginning in the search revolution in travel

Sun, 26 Sep 2010 23:58:41 -0700

Lesenswerter Artikel über Google Instant und die Reisebranche.

Wie Google Instant den Longterm in der Reisebranche killt und Goole erheblich mehr Umsatz beschert.

"... Under Google non-instant a customer would type in “hotels in Bondi with a swimming poo and view”, wait for the results then click on the link.

Under Google Instant, the second they type in the word “hotels” results will start to appear Any percentage of long tail searchers that abandon a long tail search to click on a head term paid advert is more money for Google. Great move. ..."

The BOOT - The Business of Online Travel: Stories from TRAVELtech: contemplating the parallel inter-verse

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 00:59:00 -0700

In the Internet that I live in the following rules apply:
Search: Not all my searches start on Google;
Starting: Portals are not a starting point but might be a destination (ie Yahoo Finance);
Creating: I am creating more and more content very day – but writing less and less on my blog;
Reading: Newspaper sites are fading from view in favour of RSS and news aggregators; and
Accessing: I am accessing the internet all over place – via my computer, my Apple TV, my Xbox, my blackberry and more.

Three presentations at TRAVELtech reminded me that many people online who do not adhere to these rules and therefore exist in a parallel inter-verse:

Mark Higginson of Neilsen Online reminded me that a third of Internet users do not use social networks. For these users (and there are a lot of them) the Internet is not a place for inspiration or interaction. It is a functional place. A place to consume content, check details and make purchases. A place to do things and find things out, not to engage, share and...well... just hang out;
Rohan Lund of Yahoo!7 says that Yahoo! is continuing to expand world-wide as a place for people to start on the Internet. That the portal is still as strong and steady starting point on the Internet for hundreds of millions of users; and
Warren Livingstone (founder of the Fanatics) proved that the secret to community was tents more than tweets. That communities did not need social media that much to grow and foster.

Kann man sich gar nicht oft genug sagen:

Ein drittel der Leute da draussen sind nicht und werden wahrscheinlich auch nie im Social DingensWeb auftauchen.

Das ist großartig. Eine App, die Bergeweise drei-Letter-Codes und jede Menge anderen Kram auf dem Handy macht. Tolles Ding.
