On 1 January 2010 is the travel agency cooperation butterfly with its own hotel rating online portal that will provide quality advice to their partner agencies clearly in the foreground. For this, the contributions of the travel agents deal with ratings from customers are graphically highlighted and provided with the e-mail address of the recruiting travel seller.

attempts to use the existing travel agency chains in the knowledge reserves there were quite a few. This move to its own evaluation platform is because only logical. Web 2.0 at a customer and transfer of the competitive advantage of travel agents (trained and experienced staff) have as its very own charm.

Live streaming of conferences - for free?

Audience members can stream your event themselves today for FR EE .   Apple yesterday approved the Ustream Live Broadcaster application for iPhone.  Now anyone with an iPhone 3G can  live stream video straight from the iPhone to the Ustream Web site.  That video can be embedded in other Web pages for free.  When audience members are holding up their phones, they are no longer just snapping photos, but sending video of your conference or event to others on the Web.

Todd Lucier deals in his blog post with new trends at conferences.
It's a huge step forward that bandwidth and techniques now stream the live participation in conferences (more passive than active) to allow remote locations. so the latest findings and experiences of a broad mass more easily accessible. Of course, the internet is
common desire for no charge of course. For meetings of state or non-profit organizations, the a priori should have no economic interests, which is also nachvolziehbar.
But for the private sector (and PhoCusWright is a private think tank) is the difficult to implement or even counterproductive. First, there is not really a business model for a free solution, and second the mind is indeed the desire to offer superior knowledge and sell it.
This is my opinion also the point at which the model failed Streaming by iPhone. A ban on live recording, like in the movies by custom, in conference lighting and a much stricter social control, easily realized.
The dispute over free or fee, recording freedom or not is far from decided, and whether he in favor of free starts is absolutely not safe. Photo

Gliider makes it to the New York Times - Travel 2.0 in the mainstream media

Then I remembered Gliider, a browser tool that saves and organizes travel research. I downloaded the free add-on for Firefox, which deposited a small arrow icon on my browser navigation bar that, when clicked, opened a sort of file box. There I created a “trip” to Panama City, and began selecting, dragging and dropping text and photos from the Web into handy folders with labels like flights, hotels, see and do.

I could share the stash with friends and e-mail myself PDF dossiers of smartly organized information, ready to print out as a bespoke travel guide. (In January, iPhone users will be able to carry their content via Gliider to app)

In an article that pruning the "tools, a mountain of Online Travel Tips "calls, describes Riva Richmond, several new tools of the Web 2.0 world (probably seen on the PhoCusWright Conference) are relatively straight.
The first and most extensive he describes Gliider have a tool that lets you gather from the online surf out information of any sort, organize and book a limited extent.
For me, the way the Gliider is one of the most promising Perspectives. Collecting ideas just drag and drop, sort, discard.
would be the next step that I made according to my collection of other suggestions, I am drawn to special offers, check the tool to the itinerary on logic and feasibility (time, cost, availability, etc.) and then the posting of the different parts the optimum or preferred provider performs. And as not only for hotel, airline, rental car, but also museums, amusement parks, concerts, etc.
Such tools will change the landscape tour again crucial.
is still Gliider at an early stage. Many towns and regions known he does not (why must actually be), the operation is not consistently smooth and similar childhood illnesses. But the idea!

Open Letter of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to change the Privacy Policy in Facebook

The plan we've come up with is to remove regional networks completely and create a simpler model for privacy control where you can set content to be available to only your friends, friends of your friends, or everyone.

We're adding something that many of you have asked for — the ability to control who sees each individual piece of content you create or upload. In addition, we'll also be fulfilling a request made by many of you to make the privacy settings page simpler by combining some settings.

I always find it amazing how closely Facebook is linked to its users and work with them to try the product to improve. In such an exercise could build most of the companies - do not.
Facebook is not only a pioneer in social networking, but also in a much wider scope in relation companies - customer. Photo

Thomas Cook Group is looking for opportunities not in Russia and China to - Still

“In emerging markets, tourism is growing at a faster rate than in our traditional markets. We are particularly encouraged by the opportunities in Russia and China, which are expected to become two of the largest travel markets within the next few years,” stated the company.

“We are looking at limited investment in partnership and joint venture structures in these markets to manage risks, but with an opportunity to take majority or full control over time.
