Travel Blogging in the New York Times
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.

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.

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
