Thats a very interesting question (Tweeting in another language). Although I am Canadian, I only speak English and hadn’t considered the challenge of tweeting in two languages. I think Guillaume Thevenot (@HotelBlogs) would understand this a bit better than I do, but I do follow people who tweet in mixed languages and don’t find it a problem. I don’t know if everyone is that forgiving, though.

Can you send me an @ message on twitter so I can add/talk to you there? That’d be great.

I believe that a twitter account has to have personnality in order to be succesful. I personnaly stop following or just skip their tweets if they only use it as a promotional tool for their products. Companies can still use it to promote but should also use it to give tips and comments on different aspect of their industry/area.

One aspect of Twitter I find really interesting is its research possibility. By following people in the industry (Thanks by the way because i inspired myself a lot from your following list!) i find that i get more news more efficiently than just doing a round of my favorite web sites. I even get info from places I would not have thought about previously.

One questions i have is what if you tweet in 2 languages? (I am in Quebec,Canada) Does it make people unfollow you? What do you think?

This post was mentioned on Twitter by Grayum_ian: My take on Kevin Smith and Expedia’s front on attack from Tech Crunch- http://bit.ly/cUPfg2...

Sure, it might be that they used a wholesaler that sent back a bad confirmation, but Expedia is still the agent responsible.

If their reservations systems rely on faxes and emails, then they need to cover this by actually having a human at eithere end checking that things were received correctly.

Having five or more screwups like this on one day seems much more like there is a systemic issue with they way Expedia manage their bookings.

Haha yes, I put that in the post that I wrote about the issue today about the issue of hotels and booking technology. Good point. Maybe it’s time for a change of branding

It’s interesting to watch how airlines use Twitter to build both a social brand and advertise cheap sales. @VirginBlue is a good example that other airlines should learn from. However I would still consider Twitter the ’shotgun’ approach – it’s not very accurate and you have to blast a lot out of noise out there to be part of someone’s signal.
