Travel Blogging in the New York Times

by Sean on November 26, 2005 |

My Google Alert popped up at about 5 am this morning with the keyword term “BootsnAll”. Fred Bierman of The New York Times wrote an article on Travelblogging….

He highlights us on the 1st page - kinda kewl to be recognized as such. Too bad that he got a few things wrong like our url on the 2nd page (should be this) of the article as well as not being up to date on our feature set. It would have been more thorough for someone to check with us on some of the facts. Not a huge deal and he still covers what is up in this space.

He alludes that we don’t have some of the features that the others do… Hmmm… Here are a few.

1) Do they have travel taggingTravel Moblogging
3) Post entries directly from Flickr

Bottom line, we have an excellent travelblog product, but we currently suck at letting our travelers and potential travelbloggers what we have to offer. So - I reckon this might be the kick in the arse to make our message match our product.

What is BootBlog?

BootBlog is the company blog of the BootsnAll Travel Network, a company that has been connecting travellers since 1998. Our goal is to inspire, educate and cultivate an organic community of independent travellers. But what does that mean? Well, we love to travel and we love to connect other travellers who have the desire to get out and see this great world of ours. BootBlog will showcase what is going on around the office, around the company and within our community of travellers.

There's gonna be a Bootie wedding!
Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends.

Facebook Connect & BootsnAll
BootsnAll has always prided itself on being a little bit different. We're still the only travel website out there that manually reads each and every membership application that we get. It makes the membership that little bit more valuable and keeps the majority of spammers away. In order to post comments on BootsnAll travel articles and leave reviews about … [Read more]
