Yes, even though they’ve got a good interface and some good features, they have a real challenge to get people to actually commit to it. And Facebook is coming out with some great new features, like the timeline.

Comment on Google’s Big Android Problem by Anthony Green

Yes, the update strategy for Android is broken, but it’s a difficult task for Google to maintain all the different versions needed for all the different phones…this is a problem of their own making, and it will be interesting to see how they try to fix it.

Google Should give direct updates to androids phones instead from Manufactures, they are doing nothing like Microsoft windows doing from past years.

It breaks Google’s Image on other side….

Thank you…

Thanks for the follow-up Marcos, you’re right, it’s interesting. Let us know how it goes with using it as a booking solution.

I contacted them, it’s a Spanish startup. It seems that they are working hard on it, their intention is to give it for free forever and eventually to offer advanced services at low cost.

They have SSL support, if you click on the example you can see that the booking engine is over HTTPS.

I opened an account, and yes, it’s all free, anyway there is more work to do and the website is changing daily.

Really interesting.

Interesting Marcos, thanks. I’m not sure if this is a commercial solution or a work in progress – there isn’t any detail about who is behind this, the data and privacy safeguards, etc. Also the demo site, hidden away a little, doesn’t have SSL (https) enabled for security when you get to the credit card stage.

The interface looks promising though.

Do you know any more about it?

Comment on Why Mobile Users Lose Out When Travelling by Anthony Green

Interesting comment about the unnecessary mobile apps. It seems trendy at the moment to talk about the death of the web, and an app-for-everything, but i just don’t buy that, the mobile web is clearly a lot more accessible for users, and a lot cheaper for businesses to build.
