Some of you may be interested to know what I am upto.
I am working on a concept whereby RSS is used to generate reservations in the travel industry. I have been apointed country manager Netherlands for http://www.eturbonews.com and am working on creating a blogger network for about 200 traveltrade journalist spread around the globe for starters.
The next project is the rollout of "blogging for busisness" http://www.timedesk.nl/etnnewdesign.htm (mockup only) , an advertising concept based on classified adds and RSS to deliver both the special offer and the follow up sales process, incorporating workflow, Chat, IM, micropayments via paypal and RSS. Since the media network has over 209.000 subscribers worldwide, this could become a major challenge and a great testbed for the localisation features in OACS
Ultimate goal. reduce the number of irrelevant steps in the travel reservation process and reduction of releience on traveltrade only ( and thus expensive) technology. I hope to get the go ahead at ITB, world travel show in Berlin, next month. If it works, I might need some additional assisstance, and I 'll do everything possible to create an acceptable budget to be able to pay for the finetuning.
More later.
Cheers
Ben
