Houston, Texas (June 15, 2011) – Houston, TX-based Whiteboard Labs, a technology innovator for the travel industry and Austin, TX-based FeedMagnet announced their alliance to bring FeedMagnet’s social curation technology to hotels around the world. Whiteboard Labs will be using the technology to power Telltales™, a new offering that will allow hotels to integrate social content from a variety of social channels (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Flickr, Instagram, etc) into their websites and marketing programs. Whiteboard Labs will also integrate the technology into its Internet Booking Engine to improve conversion rates by presenting relevant Social Proof to potential guests.
Social Proof is the unsolicited testimonial, the positive mention of a brand on a social channel. It’s the post that says “..this hotel rocks!! Don’t want to leave!”. It adds dimension to a rating and review and can build the confidence and excitement needed at the point of decision during the booking process.
The New Telltales™ powered by FeedMagnet offering will allow hotels to integrate into one simple product three potentially tedious processes: 1. Aggregate content from any source, 2. Filter/Moderate/Curate that content, and 3. Display it in multiple rich, unique, and customized ways without compromising brand integrity.
