I've spent months telling some of my tourism clients that they should embrace the opportunities of Web 2.0 to allow visitors, guests and relatives to add a feedback community to their businesses by allowing posting of photographs, comments, whatever - even allowing for the bad with the good.
It can generally only help the individual business.
So I was pleased to notice a seminar run by the Tourism Innovation Group announced in the Sunday Herald. I have 2 projects under development and would direct people to the blog for the Tontine Hotel in Peebles, currently undergoing a major redevelopment, and Visit Tweeddale - about to be rebranded, redesigned and relaunched - but both who are trying to use the Blogging part. With plans for YouTube. And Flickr. And Google Maps...
My own community website West Linton has the basis of a Flickr community group.
Comment from one client: "You are SO ahead of the game!" But more to do...
