Messy Yellow Pages?

PING! Email arrives from Yellow Pages in the US, which is going down the meta search route.

A new site, Yellowpages.travel [remember dot-travel?], searches across Travelocity, Hotwire, Kayak, Expedia, Orbitz, Travelzoo and a few others for flights, hotels, cars and packages.

What seems like a nice idea actually then throws up a rather odd interface - perhaps it's just us? - where the source brands are displayed across a horizontal and the user then clicks on each to get results, or sent off to the website.


Thoughts?

Travolution@PhoCusWright 07 - How many names do you need?

OMIK.com.

CMIO.com.

Project Purple Demon.

Rocket.com.

This confusing series of names was the tortuous process the founders of Hotwire.com went through before they settled on Hotwire.

Let's be grateful that they procrastinated persisted...
