2009 WordCampNL Photos

I’ve finalized the uploading to Flickr of the photos I took at WordCampNL. I will devote one or two posts to the camp later. For the moment I leave it with posting this slideshow.  The reason I link to my own stream and not the entire pool is that it is chronologically organized from the checking in to the final one thanking Erno photo.
All photos are also in the WordCamp Nederland Flickr group.

This was not the post I had in mind about Tripadvisor. However It shows they are not sitting on their hands

TripAdvisor 300x176 TripAdvisor To Acquire Chinas Second Largest Travel SiteTripAdvisor, committing itself further to the Chinese market, has now agreed to acquire Kuxun.cn, a flight and hotel search engine and the country’s second largest travel site.
This will see TripAdvisor own two of China’s top ten travel websites along with Daodao.com who it acquired in April. The combination of DaoDao.com and Kuxun.cn will more than double traffic for TripAdvisor Media Group properties in China.
Steve Kaufer, founder and CEO of TripAdvisor says “With both DaoDao.com and Kuxun.cn under our umbrella, we will enhance our ability to deliver trusted content that travelers seek, and further position TripAdvisor for expansion in this fast-growing market segment.”
Founded in February 2000, TripAdvisor was purchased by InterActive Corporation in 2004 and spun off into its travel group of businesses under the Expedia, Inc. name in August 2005.
