Just an FYI…
AOL today will launch a beta version of a travel search site powered by Kayak (which I’ve tried and was quite
impressed with). Kayak was started by former executives of Travelocity, Expedia, and Orbitz. You might remember that
AOL acquired a minority ownership stake in Kayak last year. The AOL effort is part of a strategy to attract Web
visitors beyond its dwindling subscribers. Dubbed “Pinpoint Travel,” it will be available Web-wide, with no AOL
branding on the site and no special incentives for AOL members.
