Thanks for the post. As you saw, I'm a f...I'm here! Thanks for the post. As you saw, I'm a fan of the blog.<BR/><BR/>You did a great job summarizing the site. We absolutely want to be in the inspiration space and leave the research to all the other great travel sites that already exist. We found it annoying that the first thing you have to do on most travel sites is enter your destination. Many times I don't know where I want to go, I just know when I have a holiday weekend and I want to experience something cool. Travel is also about the story, right. Going to Venice isn't a great story anymore because all your friends have been there and you all saw the same museums and monuments. But going to Venice for Carnival is an experience worth talking about. You get the point.<BR/><BR/>I think you're right about the refinement tools. We just launched into Beta and have a few improvements in mind. The original landing page design actually included filters, but we decided we really wanted to clarify how Joobili is different so we emphasized the time element. I'm interested to hear what others think about this.<BR/><BR/>We've had a busy month since our launch. Last week we won the Seedcamp Warsaw competition organized by Europe's top investors and entrepreneurs. It was a big step for what is still a very small company.<BR/><BR/>We could really use your feedback and help spreading the word to your fellow european travelers. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>PS: apologies for the demo video...if anything it will give you a good laugh. I've been meaning to remove it from youtube and replace it with a normal demo, but it looks like I'm too late:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
