Nick Cust - Superbreak Managing Director Interviewed

Another in the series of interviews, this time it's Nick Cust, Superbreak's joint Managing Director, he's talks openly about his personal ambitions as well as his thoughts on disintermediation in the online travel game. Nick also talked about his favourite holiday location... you know i'd have never had him down as a Doors fan :)

Theatrebreak innovator interviewed over at Pheedback.com

Theatrebreaks are the hot new travel deal. with high order value and relatively low supply travel affiliates are jumping on the theatrebreak bandwagon and there seems to be no stopping them. Last week I interviewed Ray Jones AKA Mr Theatrebreak over at pheedback.com and it was an interesting story he has to tell.. like the time he drank champagne out of the FA cup.

Viral Wizard Seth Godin's Squidoo Gains Google Trust

Seth Godin author of many marketing must reads, including Unleashing the Idea Virus (one of the first books/PDF's I read on the subject of viral marketing) has gained the trust of Google with his site Squidoo.com.

If you're not been there, Squidoo.com is kind of a rev shared wikipedia. Rather than articles it allows users to create lenses. Which unlike Wikipedia, cannot be spammed by any random user/spammer.

Due to Seth's remarkable viral ability, the site is growing at an amazing rate and due to the size and organic growth of the site, many lenses are popping up in search results for the terms they're optimized for.

Del.icio.us vs Furl - hmmmm.. the jury's out

Until a few days ago, I've been a fan of Furl when it comes to social bookmarking, but I've recently started using del.icio.us (have first imported my bookmarks)

My bookmarks can be viewed at http://del.icio.us/paulreilly

I'm curious as to the creative ways to exploit such sites for viral/social and SEO potential.
