Mobissimo

So Expedia often calls us up for advice on business strategy and we give it freely. Because even the biggest travel site in the world needs to talk to someone. And we're good listeners. So, last year they asked us whether they should keep Intercontinental and their hotel brands Holiday Inn, Crown Plaza, Candlewood on their site. Being the keen business strategists we are, we said "You're the biggest travel site in the world, you don't need them." And it was good to see they listened, because since last year you can't find the Intercontinental brands in Expedia. Strangely enough, you can find all of Intercontinental's brands in the Mobissimo search engine as we work with them directly. So last week Dara Khosrowshahi called us again and said, "Mobissimo, what should I do with AirTran?" Our response? "Dara, you don't need the headache. They're just a little low cost airline. We can search them and you send all your users to us." Needless to say, Dara was happy for the advice and today announced AirTran will no longer be available through Expedia. But never fear MobiUsers, you can find AirTran in our search engine since we search them directly.
