Thanks for this post. I prefer posting comments myself. There are certain benefits of doing this. Firstly I read the post and that way I gain knowledge and experience. If I find something interesting, I can add it to my favorite list. Since I post the comments I m sure about myself and that gives me peace of mind.

“Smocial Shmedia” ??? Hihihi

Thanks for your Flickr offer… I really should get clicking with my camera…

I’d just like to take time off to note what a wonderful job you have been doing these past few weeks on Hotel Marketing Strategies, Katie !

Not only are your Hotelier Highlights invaluable, thanks to your help and motivation I am suddenly seeing a revitalised Josiah churning out more amazing Hotel Marketing Strategies than ever per week !!!

Every new addition that we entrepreneurs make should give us a ROI. And in that sense, Josiah is certainly very lucky to have you on board Katie !

J, are you listening ?

Cheers

And I agree that “social media in general” posts can get a bit stale for those of us who already accept its merit.

I’m glad you enjoyed Isabelle’s interview — she’s certainly a successful real-world example for hoteliers working with… mmm… “Smocial Shmedia”

I’ll think on more ways to share step by step marketing processes. And of course, I’m thrilled you enjoyed the links; you should submit a photo to our Flickr so I can “highlight” you next week!

I am really thinking of quitting Twitter and simply waiting for your links every Saturday, Katie

I loved how the iPad makes life easier for guests – that is what technology and this blog is all about isn’t it ?

Travelling as a vegetarian had some really handy tips for all my veggie friends out there…though why someone would choose greens over a T Bone is still a mystery to me

Trust is a major issue for any business so we hoteliers really need to leverage social networks to build our trust…

Being your biggest fan will definitely come in handy when you are a bit down! What you really need to do is toss the script aside and react naturally to a downturn as Daniel Craig (not 007 explains so well

That said, I am really beginning to hate the term “social media” and blog posts about “social media in general”. So much has been written about the “Importance of Social Media” that we get it…really !

Now what we need is individual examples of how to leverage “Social Media” to our advantage…something you give us in great abundance every Saturday night, Katie !
