3 Years ago our communication was
• Cool– Kept family and friends informed
adventures close to real time– Recommendations from broad group of
people– Lots of new friends and readers,
including 1 very influential one...
Today our communications would be
Kind of lame– Not real time – Blog was probably 5-7
days behind– Comments too asynchronous– Access was limited– Integration wasn’t complete– No integration with SMS internationally
2009 Social Media
• Twitter, Twitpic, MySpace, Facebook, FourSquare, Blog, aggregators etc.
• SMS integration at reasonable rates• Iphone with wifi access everywhere• Blogging more mainstream• Realtime communications with fellow
travelers and brands
Arrived in New Zealand, too busy getting ready to leave to arrangements, kids and luggage sitting on the curb
Any chance that 20 years from now my kids will be visiting Iraq or jumping off boat with their kids? One can only hope.
Living the dream
• Travelers I look up to– @Soultravelers3 – @Umarket– @Nomadicmatt– @adventuregirl
Good travel sites– @matadortravel– @nileguide– @Weblogtheworld
• Tuesday is dream day– #traveltuesday
2009 social media still isn’t there for travel
• Information overflow – true about all categories
• Location and time is very important• Friend locator and matchmaking• Marketing platform or travel aid• # tags are a good start, better organization• Communication very disjointed• Real time pricing, opportunities• Alerts both good and bad
