Orbitz logo

Orbitz announcements of deals and personnel changes, like most such corporate news fodder, would not ordinarly be a sign of anything big in the offing. However, with a closing price of $2.40 on Friday, and the inherent value underneath, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this stock is on the way up.

relax.hilton - a possible .brand for Hilton Worldwide.

When the new ICANN Dot Branded gTLDs hit the web, some feel larger corporations will further distance themselves from the little guy in online business. Expensive, highly targeted and branded domains like dot apple and dot hilton may in fact shove out competition online.

TripAdvisor Acquires Where I’ve Been

2011-07-12 by Phil Butler

TripAdvisor reviews down the tubes

TripAdvisor, the online world’s most popular travel website, has reportedly purchased Where I’ve Been, the once popular Facebook application. The map oriented platform allows users to display where they have visited or lived, and places they would like to visit. Once a “viral” application with something over a million monthly users, the app now sees only a fraction of that number.
