Huh? Has SideStep exploded overnight?
Sorry, had to post this snippet from a SideStep press release this afternoon: "SideStep, Inc. (www.sidestep.com), the Web's leading travel search engine..." Well, hey, adding activities - which they just did - might be super-dee-duper and all as Brian says, but, um, Rob, you better gimme a puff of that when you are done, and then go check your reach numbers. It's clearly making you kids light-headed.

Nice Ajax-y goodness, though.

Steppy is fine thing, and it's come a long way from the downloaded-and-forgotten ickiness they were. And I'm all for puffery in a press release (actually, I'm not, but I get that people do it) but claiming to be "leading" when there are maybe 15+ sites with massively bigger reach numbers is just silly.
Call me old fashioned :-) Re: Re: Huh? Has SideStep exploded overnight?
15+ travel search engines with "massively bigger reach numbers"... who are they? Just pulled Alexa (not perfect) reach numbers for Kayak, SideStep and Mobissimo and SideStep is right up there... see post

Mike, thanks for stopping by. My point is that for the past however many years, "travel search engines" has been a term used to apply a wide number of sites such as Orbitz, Opodo, Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline etc. Those guys have reach off the charts compared to any of the meta players, and it seems that Steppy has somehow chosen to ignore that by declaring themselves the biggest. In meta? Maybe. But as a "travel search engine"?
Not close. Thanks again for the note. one stop shop for travel search
