Hi Philip,

Thanks for this post! I’m a big Seth Godin fan (what a SMART guy!) and being involved in the online travel industry makes me really appreciate your connecting the two for me here.

Last Tuesday, I listened to Seth chat with three other marketers who I really respect: Chris Anderson, Tim Ferriss and John Jantsch. Good stuff! There’s a link to the mp3 at the top of John’s blog here…

…if you’re interested.

Okay, gotta run… I saw something else on your front page I wanted to check out. Thanks again!

Hi Guys, thanks for the comments. I have added a link to the webinar, it was really interesting. He offers another webinar for those that buy the book. May be worth picking up.

You’ve done a great job applying this to tourism. Every web worker should buy this book for their bosses.

These concepts are so perfectly suited to tourism promotion. After all, the initial innovation in the web was lead by the travel industry. Besides politics and consumerism, travel has the greatest potential to harness 2.0 for branding and transactional promotion.

Phil,

Thanks for this great post.

Unfortunately I miss this webcast.

Phil if you can send me the record

I try Squido at the begining, even as a betatesteur, but don't follow up.

Take to much time to get some traffic. I think is better to invest in your blog (great tool, content & content, selected syndication, networking,...)

See you at ITB

Regards

Claude

Hi Darren,

It was an interesting webinar, too bad you couldn't make it. I recorded the presentation if you are interested.

I am signing up for Squidoo and entering contents as I write this, I haven't wrapped my mind around all of its functionality, but it seems to have potential. Have you seen much traffic from it?

Thanks for the mention Phil.

I couldn't unfortunately, get to the webcast due to work but I am glad I managed to send the link out to a few people.

Have you tried Squidoo, or has anyone tried it to market their products or services?

I have; and whilst it's still early days, it has referred a few visitors to my blog.

I'm just waiting for the search engines to pick up the page to really see if it's effective as some people say.
