BootsnAll's Travel Typepad

Last Minute Hotels by BootsnAll

We launched this Last Minute Hotel section a month or so ago and I totally forgot to mention it.  Why should you care?  Well, if you are looking for a place to stay and it is within 3 weeks of departure you may find suitable inventory for your stay at an even more reduced price than you would normally find on the information superhighway.  The web is just full of tasty deals, isn't it?

Strangely, we do not have any last minute properties for the country I am currently in, Romania.  Good thing there is availability in Germany.  I'm gonna check on this page a few weeks before World Cup and see what the score is.  Will Germany really be totally sold out?  If we are not allocated anything...maybe?

After the jump, see all the countries that we cover with this product.

Free Love from BnA

I love this piece that Brett wrote for our adsales section.  It is also super good to have a full-time "advertising executive" to take care of all the folks who want to advertise with BootsnAll.  I have been a slack arse bitch on that...just not having the time to fully service them as the leads poured in.

Hopefully, as we grow we'll keep our sense of humor with stuff like that.  I frickin' love it.

BnA is on AOL.com homepage

We are linked off the homepage of AOL.com now.  Kinda rad.  See what it looked like here.

Travelicio.us

I would like to here what you folks think of this new site that we are soft launching.  I am interested in some feedback on it - please reply via e-mail or in the comments, don't be bashful - I can take it.

Travelicio.us

In particular:

1) Does the site make sense to you

2) Is there a feature or something else that you would like to see?

3) Do you like it?

4) Do you think this would be a good site to goto when doing some dreaming or researching a place you might be visiting in the near future?

Hostel Maps via Google Maps

I wrote about about our Hostel Map integration via Google Maps a few weeks ago.  We want to do the same thing for the the UK and Ireland - but how do we convert English addresses into longitude and latitude?  We used geocoder.us for the US addresses.

Re-Lauching of Why Go

We re-launched Why Go today.  When we originally launched it on April 1st - our design was a bit rushed.  After some user feedback and some more time spent on design - I like it lots more - a bit cleaner and more pleasant to look at.  What do you think?

Nick writes about local politics/mafia in Bali. Interesting on how it all works, who pays, who controls.
