We try to emulate a lot of what the hotel industry does in our business and in particularly Starwood with their W Brand, so it was good to see your comments regarding the style and layout. As always, thank you for your input and sharing of information. See you in a couple of weeks in Col!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-43021659258235331692008-09-11T20:52:00.000-05:002008-09-11T20:52:00.000-05:00Ironically I'm in the opposite boat as Philippe. ...Ironically I'm in the opposite boat as Philippe. I'm a loyal Starwood traveler and a Gold member of their SPG program. Even have the SPG Amex so I guess they really have me locked in.<BR/><BR/>So with that in mind, I'm a big fan of The Lobby for many of the same reasons you outline. For starters, their layout is just stellar with the 5 major categories. I would love to get that organized/focused on my own blog.<BR/><BR/>However, I am annoyed at the content overload you point out. I just simply can't keep up. Also, I'd like if you could filter by geography. I rarely travel beyond the US with SPG, but much of the content is globally focused. I have to look through a lot to find the nuggets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-45587107598441518762008-09-11T09:58:00.000-05:002008-09-11T09:58:00.000-05:00Hi Mack,I had some hard times with starwood.

They might blog but they have an incredibly lame online customer service.<BR/><BR/>My anger against Starwood was the reason I started to blog again :)<BR/><BR/>http://badideaindeed.wordpress.com/?s=starwoodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
