From the Beach to the Boulevard – brand new book

As you know, Andy’s primary current project is the FtLauderdaleSun social share/photography project but a sideline has brought along with it a splendid new photographic book. That project is Team Las Olas – a social media and internet marketing system for our local area.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas

I do enjoy it when I see destinations making the most of what’s happening in the news. To the shock of many people in other countries, but to the amusement of people in the UK, someone recently took cellphone photographs of Prince Harry naked in a hotel room in Vegas.

Oh, so it’s the fault of mobile photography

England’s Prince Harry has reportedly been photographed – by a mobile phone – naked. Some websites are saying that the reason for this is the fact that everyone these days carries a camera in their purse or pocket – their smartphone.

Even a cellphone camera…

This will probably be one of my shorter rants. That’s probably because the quote I am going to show you really says it all. I do have a habit of finding things on the internet that spark off rants though. Today, it was some photographer who is trying to organize photo-walks.

The top 50 meeting destinations announced

Come on Fort Lauderdale. A huge events company has recently evaluated over one thousand cities to determine a top fifty list. Where are the best places to hold your meeting, conference or event?

Surely Fort Lauderdale is high on the list, if not in the lead?

Destination culture

Most people have aspirations. Most of us like to think that we’re probably just a little bit more cultured than the next person, right? Well, it depends on your definition of culture, of course. But in the last year or so, the City of London has certainly made the most of its culture when it comes to destination marketing.

Do the majority of your website hits come from social media?

They should. I was bumbling around in the website statistics of various sites the other day and thought I’d do a bit of calculation. If found that, in every case, our websites get more hits from social media than from search engines.
