I am producing a new series for The Travel Channel, a part of Discovery Networks. It is based on VCC, or Viewer Contributed Content. If you have a video camera at home and editing software, I will pay you up to $1000 for 3-5 minute videos stories about you and your travels. Just about any kind of story will do, so long as it is travel related and compelling to watch. I am looking for creativity, originality, new voices and new ideas. There was a time when television production was in the hands of a select few. Now, your voice and your creative and filmmaking abilities can be seen and heard. If you have what it takes to break out of old ways of thinking and uses of video, this could be your big break.

Growth in number of travel websites soars

According to research by Internet Security Systems over the past twelve months, the growth in the number of travel websites has soared by 25 percent.

Further evidence of this online travel boom comes from a recently published paper by Forrester Research which found that one in three of the euros, pounds, or kronor that European consumers spend online goes towards leisure trip bookings. The report also estimated that online travel spending will grow by 133 percent to almost euro 77 billion in 2011.

Interestingly, the research conducted by ISS has found that over half of the world's travel websites are located in the USA - 60.4 percent. Germany follows in second place with 12.9 percent and Great Britain in third with only 5% of all travel websites hosted there.

1. USA (60.4 %)

Report: Google Coupons Threatens Newspapers

A NEW GOOGLE PROGRAM THAT allows merchants to create printable coupon pages linked to their Google Maps entry potentially threatens the $1.1 billion that coupon advertisers spend in newspapers, according to a report released Tuesday by Merrill Lynch. But the impact likely won't be felt in the short-term, because the early users of the service will probably be small self-service marketers, predicted the investment house. "We think the near term impact is minimal, but longer term we have some serious concern," stated the report.
