I didn’t say that in my talk at Social Travel Market to be controversial (ok, maybe a little bit!) – I truly believe that from my own experience that social media is killing off the blog – but – only blogs that are setup to create discussion and debate.
Travel BlogCamp 2011 takes place on Tuesday 8 November. One of the sponsors this year is BookingMarkets and I had the pleasure of interviewing them this week to find out a little bit more about the company and their experiences using social media.
Please could you introduce yourself and tell us a little about BookingMarkets?
We are a team of about 20 world-traveling business gurus and ninja-grade coders based in New York City, Bogota, Santiago, and Lisbon! BookingMarkets has been the platform for LetMeGo.com and Localo.com for some time and is now available for anyone who would like to create their own accommodations booking site or niche online marketplace.
For those of you that don’t know, most of my time is spent these days being the editor of My Life in Leeds (and York, but this local guide hasn’t got much content yet) of which I am thoroughly enjoying the challenge. Within 18 months I have made this into a profitable business.
I have received a few emails from local businesses in Leeds asking for my advice on how to use Twitter. Some of them have had problems trying to get people to interact, others just want to improve the content that they are tweeting, so this post was written to share my experiences.
