RT @iMediaMichelle: Structuring the social web is a consistent #PhocusWright theme << Can't put the genie back into a structured bottle tho #
RT @tomeghale: User experience is competitive advantage when price parity is widespread #hipmunk #PhoCusWright << Glad to see UI centerstage #
Finally innovation in content. Travel video syndication by #TripTelevision at #phocuswright -surprisingly dismissive on User Gen Content tho #
Psychographics as an input to airline search by #vayant at #phocuswright – "Adaptive Search" #
RT @alexbainbridge: @travelfish Co's supplying content just not sexy enough to be called innovative @Grayum_ian #phocuswright << Need spin. #
#Mobile backend done right by #kony – invest in common template & infra first, easy to port to all mobile platforms then. #phocuswright #CIO #
RT @hughestim: twitter search for #phocuswright being limited due to too many searches from the one IP address << Joys of conf wi-fi. Go 3G? #

This certainly tames the chaos. #UsingMiles manages all miles/points from travel cos *and* finds trips where you can use them. #phocuswright #
RT @Mimsw: #phocuswright can we request our favorite songs during the voting? << Yes, let's vote #
And #flymuch is the virtual travel agent that personalizes and customizes your online search for travel. #phocuswright #

Guess we broke the wireless voting machines. Now that is called active participation. #phocuswright #
RT @Susantravels: Like #revinate as b2b social media monitoring tool, comparison reports & proactive mktg #phocuswright << Other industries? #
Common theme so far – Searching for actionable needles in the haystack of information- #voyavo #TrustYou & #Revinate at #phocuswright #
Making sense out of unstructured travel reviews from #trustyou at #phocuswright – Labeled UGC 2.0 – Plus backend analytics for suppliers. #
Innovators on stage. Audience has voting devices to pick the *most* innovative. Is my defn of #innovation the same as yours? #PhoCusWright #
