Congratulations on a truly fine blog ... despite the fact that I've ended up reading a great deal more than I initially intended (how time flies when you're having fun kinda thing). Have added you to my blogroll at http://navigationz.wordpres... & will be back for more pronto ;-)

Thanks for a most interesting list. For price comparisons and unbiased reviews of both hotels and tourist attractions I find the most user-friendly site to be trivago. There are also a wealth of photos ;-)

Personally I would recommend http://www.trivago.co.uk as its search technology collects dynamic information from numerous sources (including many of the aforementioned) and selection criteria allows the user to reduce the search results, for example by hotel category, the number of stars, or by room facilities. Best prices for hotels and package holidays are compared and include rate descriptions which display whether breakfast is included, the
booking can be cancelled short-term and whether a credit card is required.

Hi Stephen - thanks for an informative article! As a member of the Travel 2.0 portal trivago, I found your statistics particularly interesting. When the trivago idea was conceived in 2003, its three original team members envisioned creating a travel information portal with a search engine that was fundamentally different from general purpose engines like Google. Relying largely on UGC, the phenomenal growth since then only underlines your statement that "Any organization who feels they are immune or somehow outside of the influence of UGC needs to get their head out of the sand. "
regards,
Pierre

Re: Combining Planning & Booking a Nice Combo with Travelmob.com

I have to agree with Josh - I've joined and gone through the procedure of registering a trip but ran into errors so often that I eventually gave up and returned the following day to finalise the process. Some features are indeed "a bit too rudimentary" and for bookings I prefer a dynamic search-engine such as provided at trivago.

Some nice pics ... I hadn't quite realised before how very similar some California regions and our own Stellenbosch / Franschoek wine regions are. Must be a really laid-back life you lead. Enjoy!
