Corporate travel planners expecting hotels to aggressively negotiate rate increases for coming year http://j.mp/a7zTwK #
@CravenTravels Why yes – as I call it: Menomonee Falls – the center of the travel universe… in reply to CravenTravels #

It's all about expectations RT @claudepeloquin: Hotel stars fail to determine happiness of guests http://bit.ly/cCYhre #
I'm confused. @Hilton researches strategic branding, creates new logo & doesn't expect people to notice. http://j.mp/aKJnI6 #

@ggruber66 Agree #netneutrality is EXTREMELY important, but w/broken touchscreen & contract expiring, need a working phone in reply to ggruber66 #

Seems @arrington writing about travel is better comment bait (374) than tech posts on @TechCrunch 🙂 http://j.mp/9WGu5u #
@elliottng Thanks for the kind #tt shout – WOuld have to say the same about you as well… in reply to elliottng #
@donnadeau @hharteveldt Theory: As airlines eliminated most food service, limited many FA passenger revenge alternatives 🙂 #
Steven Slater @JetBlue FA who flipped out is a Zero, not a Hero. NPR poll voting is way off the mark http://j.mp/b2HOkH #

.@elliottng describes US tourism strategy as FUBAR. Supports China promotion; only 6 consulates for visas http://j.mp/dg7USD #
