The Buzz was NOT Palpable
OK, OK - we are late with Phocuswright posts - but we'll post our thoughts over the next few days...
The "big" (aka "paid") announcement on Day 1.0 @ PCW was the launch of a new travel web site site called Vibe Agent. Sit down, you're not going to believe how awesome this is. It is a site that combines (are you sitting?) hotel reviews, with meta-search, with social networking.
You can't make this stuff up. Maybe it's always been this way, but the travel space is starting to feel like the cliche world of Hollywood. "Let's make a SitCom about the GEICO Cavemen" sounds a lot like "Let's mash-up The Long Tail with Travel 2.0".
Best of luck to Vibe Agent. Seriously. More importantly, why are we writing this blog and not starting "Travel-Wad.com"? Which will get us a yacht quicker? Hmmm....
