It's not all that often that I post about some new technology that I see, but today's going to be an exception.

As some of you know, I used to do development consulting in the travel business.

Very interesting. It's got some quirks at the moment, but it's a great demo. I'm not completely convinced I would book a trip this way, but maybe - it's definitely got potential.
