TravelMole web awards…. I know someone who WONT win

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

So TravelMole, a UK based travel industry community website, are having their annual web awards presentation this afternoon (link - registration required)

I guess that TravelMole are not entering their own awards, or at least unlikely to win…. because as I write - their homepage looks like this:

with the article as follows:

I guess training on how to add articles really should not be done with the live site :)

ps - Yep - haven’t got to the chapter in the book I am reading where is describes how to win friends and influence people
