If Orbitz (travel website) knew what was going on and actually thought like a real person who’s going online trying to find the best deal they can in this tough economy then they would copy Bing Travel (go to bing.com and then click on travel.) Bing allows you to do a “flexible search”. Not just any flexible search, a fantastic flexible search. This is a outstanding way to save money on any trip you plan on taking in the future. Why? Because you can compare dates. It’s that simple. Changing your travel plans by even just one day can save you hundreds.
So, if you search deep enough into Orbitz’s website, yes, you may find their ‘flexible search’. Not that good is it? No. Nothing compared with Bing. One good thing I will say about Orbitz is their customer service. I don’t think many people care about their ‘Price Guarantee’, we all expect our prices will stay the same. So, along with the subject of their customer service….. As I was on Orbitz’s site the other day a prompt came up on my screen with a lady asking me if she can help me. “Sure”, I said, knowing she wouldn’t be able to. I asked her if they had flexible search on vacation packages. She really didn’t know how to answer and told me I can go to ‘flights’ and then go to flexible search and make my selection. I said I’d already been there and it’s of no help for what I’m looking for. She didn’t understand that when most of us travel we need more than a flexible flight date. We need it all. And this is my suggestion to Orbitz: Take a moment and look at what Bing has done with their flexible search. Give us more options. Allow flexible search for vacation packages. Allow multiple city flexible search. And for our sake of time, speed up your website.
I’ve installed this captcha form a couple of times and it works great! The install is easy and it adds a simple form with a easy to use captcha. Really keeps all that spam out of your inbox and comments. I still get a couple from time to time but the amount I’ve gotten has significantly decreased. I definitely recommend the yaCaptcha and I’m about to review it in wordpress forums as I just did another install on a website I’ve been working on. Works great with customized wordpress installs too. Thanks to the people that wrote this and to all the people keeping spam out of our wordpress sites.
This guy is so good. I haven’t heard one of his songs I don’t like.
“and we build up castles
in the sky and in the sand
design our own world
ain’t nobody understand
I found myself alive
in the palm of your hand
as long as we are flyin’
this world ain’t got no end”
I wrote this letter to the Duluth Reader Weekly when I used to live up there. I’m not sure if Paul Ryan even writes for them anymore but this was my letter/review:
“Paul Ryan is a really good writer. If it wasn’t for him I don’t know if I would even pick up a free copy of your reader. Maybe the only reason would be to get let down by the horrible duluth nightlife section which is about to get worse now due to the smoking ban (poor bar owners). Anyway, thanks for having an interesting, young writer in your paper, don’t lose him because as we all know by the Duluth News tribune, we lack interesting writers up here.”
