But it does take some guts to do it, bearing in mind how the majority of news stories written about the launch have focussed on the old boo, rather than the new boo. nice site though...Travolution Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075713549142296853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13331370.post-46600299519853626622007-05-03T00:04:00.000+01:002007-05-03T00:04:00.000+01:00Click here to view the old boo.com site back to th...Click <A HREF="http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.boo.com" REL="nofollow">here</A> to view the old boo.com site back to the 1999s til its demise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13331370.post-12564262436953351572007-05-02T19:32:00.000+01:002007-05-02T19:32:00.000+01:00I agree with the previous commenter that the name ...I agree with the previous commenter that the name is not going to do them much harm. In fact, if they didn't go into it on the new boo site I would never have known there used to be a site at that location, let alone one that went bust so nicely :) As someone who spends pretty much every working hour online and has done for the past 5 years (with plenty of internet usage before that as well) I can only imagine how little the target market (assuming that's in the 20-30 year old segment) will be aware of this.... <BR/><BR/>What I'd be more interested in is to see how this develops. Those guys at web res know how to run a business or two, however convincing users you are not about plugging your own booking systems but are about the community aspect can be tough (especially when you own the booking system that powers the bookings).... <BR/><BR/>The site is very slick though! Almost wish TP was that slick... ;)samdaamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806676900907442017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13331370.post-41782690408983717922007-05-02T17:13:00.000+01:002007-05-02T17:13:00.000+01:00I've seen an early preview of the site back in Jan...I've seen an early preview of the site back in January at Hostelworld and was quite impressed by the features. Very much travel 2.0 oriented and the final product, while I haven't checked it out in detail, looks attractive and well planned.<BR/><BR/>As for the name, I doubt it will have a negative impact. Who among the general audience is even aware of the original flame out? It was very much an insider story known to the dotcom world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
