Even if the latest issue of Fast Company has already come out, we’re giving a recommendation to take a look back at the September issue – as a bit of weekend study.
In the September issue, Fast Company has a write-up on one of the most fascinating travel websites since Expedia, Kayak.com ("The Success of Kayak.com").
"The eureka moment was, What if we focused on giving the airlines leads instead of selling tickets?" Hafner says. They could collect money on a pay-per-click basis, the way Google does, and wouldn't have the customer-service expenses of Orbitz or Travelocity."
Also, more enlightening than many other reports on the MySpace vs Facebook rivalry is the article "MySpace - The Sequel".
