I also stayed at a cheaper hotel but within walking distance - no taxi fare to pay either! Happy Holidays! Was great to talk to you at PhoCusWright and see where you are going with the “hungry wolf”!

Guys in the office tell me that I look a bit like Ivan Draco from Rocky IV, so perhaps it's just me and I always look like "I must crush you". I'm sorry if you were scared that I'd bite your head off, that was by no means my intention. ;) Seriously, I thought it was a pretty pleasant meeting with you guys in SF, although our meetings with NileGuide, UpTake etc. were perhaps a bit warmer, perhaps due to american courtesy and the fact that at least one party was speaking in their native language. It takes two to tango. Of course we Finns are not known for our big smiles or talkative attitude when meeting new people but had I really wanted to bite your heads off you probably would've noticed. :) It seems that I need to practice my smiling.

Stephen Joyce mentioned Tripwolf to us as well -- sorry we didn't have the chance to connect in L.A. As for competitive stances: In today's economy, we feel strongly that travel sites need to find ways to be complementary in the travel ecosystem, versus fighting amongst themselves for the same slice of pie. With over 9 billion travel searches a year, it's a BIG pie . . . and there's more than enough to go around. Would love to hear more about your business. And for the record, we at UpTake will NOT bit your head off! Thomas Brown UpTake Networks I like your “feisty” startup attitude!
