It seems every day there’s something in our world of technology that has us going “ah ha.” Take the recent line up of Bell mobility phones and all their features. Impressive at best. But wait – that’s simply nothing compare to the latest feature to grace the market. Are you ready for Google latitude on your Bell phone?
This new technology is thanks to Google, who just recently launched Latitude, which lets cell phones track the location of those contacts they are close to. The idea is that the technology will help you hook up with others while you are out by keeping track of where they are.
Google latitude lets you share your location with those you choose to share it with, generally close friends and family, and of course they will be able to do the same thing. For example, ones girlfriend is out shopping wither her Bell cell phone while her boyfriend has arrived at a nearby restaurant and he wants to know where she’s at to see if they can meet for launch. If he has Google Latitude installed on his Bell cellular he will be able to locate her. Now that’s cool!
Of course there are always privacy issues and Google is actually an excellent player when it comes to privacy so you must sign up for this service if you want your location information to be shared.
It’s not surprising that Google is the one to come up with such software; after all they are the Gurus in mapping technology right now. This software is a simplified version of theie online Google Maps but with locater technology.
Google sees this new product of interest to tight groups of friends and family. When someone is close to where you are it lets you send a text or email message. The security and privacy ensures that you always have total control over who you are going to share your location with and you can update and change it as necessary.
While initially it will be tested on only a small group of phones it is anticipated to be available for use on all Bell mobility cell phones in a very short period of time.

If you’re a frequent flier or a frequent traveller, you’ll be familiar with the lonely feeling that constant travel can sometimes instil. Whether you’re a businessman who is required to traverse all corners of the country as part of your job, or you live in New York and are in a long-distance relationship with a lover in San Francisco, you probably feel that there should be more to travel than simply getting from one place to another!
But never fear – there is a solution! Many leading airlines and hotel chains now offer loyalty programs that help loyal customers collect points and airmiles for both hotel stays and flights – a system that delivers rewards on an entire range of other goods and services. A hotel loyalty card, for instance, allows you to collect points on every hotel stay that you make. Collecting a certain number of points will allow you to reap certain exclusive benefits that hotel guests without loyalty cards won’t be able to enjoy.
A common reward afforded by hotel loyalty programs are the luxury of free nights, complimentary in-room movies and even upgrades to the hotel penthouse or a luxurious resort – so your hotel holiday experience can be enriched at every turn. Additionally, owning a hotel loyalty card can allow you the benefit of cheaper car rental services, so you’ll be able to explore the surrounding areas around your hotel with ease. This can come in especially handy if your hotel is located just outside the city centre, or if you’re staying in a particularly secluded part of the country.
What’s more, hotel honors rewards systems can incorporate additional benefits like offers on cruises around the world. This can include carnival cruises in the Bahamas and other luxury Caribbean islands, which can depart from a range of easily accessible American destinations, including Los Angeles, Miami and New Orleans.
And, if you’re a parent, you’ll even find that hotel loyalty programs will help you accrue benefits that will benefit your partner and children as well. For instance, many hotel loyalty cards will offer deals or discounts on travel to theme parks and entertainment parks all over the country, including prime vacation destinations such as Disney World and Universal Studios.
If you already participate in a hotel rewards system and you’ve built up a number of points that you have yet to redeem on benefits, you might be able to find interesting and commendable ways to put your loyalty points to greater good. Hilton’s hotel loyalty program, for example, allows you to redeem your honors points to any number of charitable organisations supported by the company. In this way, not only will you be able to exercise your charitable instincts through your loyalty program, you’ll also be able to experience personal and spiritual rewards that are sure to make all your future travels more enjoyable!

If you are new to the world of hotel reverse auctions/ bidding, you must do some research before bid on hotel rooms and travel services. New online bidders can be paying much more for an item than is necessary. Here are some things that you should look for:
1. Type of Auction:
Is it a Dutch, English, Sealed-Bid or Vickrey Auction? Most online hotel auctions are the Dutch-style, which means the auctioneer asks a certain price as a minimum (called a reserve) and the bidders keep bidding until time is up. The person who has out-bid the others wins and then must pay for the item.
Other types of auctions include business to consumer or
consumer-to-consumer. eBay is the consumer-to-consumer model where almost anyone can sell their wares and anyone can bid on the item or service. All though bid2travel.com is a business to consumer auction site for hotel room, where there are trusted Indian hotel chains who sell their vacant hotel rooms by reverse auction process.
2. No Reserve Bids:
This means there is no minimum amount you must bid before the auction will send you the item. This is a great way to save money and get great items – generally, there is no catch. Check the details before bidding. Bid2travel.com is also using the same pattern for hotel rooms.
3. Packing & Shipping Costs:
Always, and I cannot stress this enough, always check to see how much the shipping charges are before you bid! There are many examples of people having the winning bid on an item and then realizing the shipping fee is more than the cost of the item.
4. Spending:
Always know the maximum amount of money you are willing to spend for your hotel room or travel services. Also, do your research to find the fair market value of the room in a particular hotel.
5. Questions & Contact Info:
A reputable auction site or hotel room seller like bid2travel.com will have easy to find contact details to answer all of your questions. If you find no contact information, do not bid on anything. Chances are if you want to cancel / amend it or if the item is not as promised, there will be no one to contact then either.
6. Fair Value
When you are participating in a reverse auction hotel process of any hotel always gets an idea about the fair value of the room cost in that hotel. You can get the same from the travel Meta search engine sites like chaklo.com. They will give you an idea that which other online travel sites is selling room in a hotel and at what minimum cost.
7. Reverse Auction Newsletters:
You should sign-up for online auction newsletters, like one is available for the registered user of http:// bid2travel.com especially if you are not a regular visitor to this hotel bidding site.
8. Sniping:
It has happened to all of us. No one has outbid you on the item you want. Your bid has been the top bid for about a week. You check your bid moments before and when you turn away from the computer for one second a sniper comes in and outbids you and wins. Who is to blame? You are, in most cases. A sniper can be bidding on his own or can use automated bidding tools to outbid you. There is nothing illegal about it.
9. Bigger is Not Necessarily Better:
It’s not always better to bid big for the hotel rooms. Because when you place a bid for hotel rooms on site like bid2travel.com you are practically buying the vacant rooms and you can have a great chance of bidding the bid even at the 50% cost.
10. Oops…oh my God !
In the world of online hotel room reverse auctions, or any other auctions for that matter, a bid is a bid, and it is like taking your finger off a checker. You made your move and now you must live with it. If you must renege, you will be considered a bad person, regardless of the issue. This is because you have driven up the cost of the item for other buyers, you have promised the vendor that you will buy and now you have just gone back on your word. What do you expect? Only, only, only retract your bid when absolutely necessary. Thin09k before you bid for hotel room or any other travel services.
Following these basic rules will help you in the online reverse
auction world. These are not the only things you should know, just the basics. Spend some time watching the auction before bidding and see how it works. Happy Bidding!
