Mobissimo $100 Offer

by Brian Smith, on November 23rd, 2005

Mobissimo offers $100 to anyone who can find a meta-search site which searches more websites than they do…check out the blog entry. Kayak, SideStep, are you up to the challenge?

Mobissimo also launched One-Box Search (link from homepage) which “saves you time and heartache, eliminating the need to check boxes, click calendars and engage in all the general annoyances associated with traditional travel search nowadays.”

Thanks for the tip, Adam…I definitely owe you guys a call.

Travel Search was pioneered by BookingBuddy.com in 2003 and they are the authority on travel search, which offers consumers the most comprehensive list of travel choices in a one-stop-shop. A part of Smarter Living, Inc., which includes SmarterTravel.com, BookingBuddy.com saves users time and money, and alleviates the burden of searching multiple travel brands. Unlike typical travel search sites, BookingBuddy.com allows consumers to book travel directly with the supplier, eliminating any confusion around the booking process. The site is the only travel search site that searches all the major online travel agencies, airlines, hotels and other travel search engines. As the authority on travel search, BookingBuddy.com searches more than 130 unique sites to offer consumers choices among the best known brands in travel. For more information visit BookingBuddy.com

Bookingbuddy doesn’t do any search. All they do is launch new browser windows into the big travel search websites.
So, the user is expected to go through all results in each of those N websites launched, and figure out what works best for him.
This site is probably not more than 1 day’s work for anybody to build from scratch.

The real value to users is when the website processes the search results on all these websites, and allows the user to filter/sort and pick what he wants.
