Comments on: Will .Travel Registry Fail? http://domainnamewire.com/2007/05/21/will-travel-registry-fail/ News and Views for the Domain Name Industry Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:42:24 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: sam warsaw http://domainnamewire.com/2007/05/21/will-travel-registry-fail/comment-page-1/#comment-510894 sam warsaw Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:09:57 +0000 http://domainnamewire.com/2007/05/21/will-travel-registry-fail/#comment-510894 I own 2 .Travel websites. Since it's inception, this company (Trailliance or wooever is bailing them out) has been unprofessional. Their "Directory" looks like it was put together by a 4th grader with half a brain. If they are using any sort of algorithms to order search words/phrases, then why when you type in "caribbean cruise" do you end up with 15-20 Royal Caribbean entries that are all identical! Anyway, I can handle incompetence but what disturbs me the most is the outright lies from Heidi asst. to the CEO. At this point after receiving certain assurances from Heidi regarding the upcoming quality improvment of the directory (April 2009), noone at any of the companies phones answers them. I have sent 3 e-mails in the past week to Victoria Ancell with absolutely no response. I guess if I were representing such a pathetic company, I'd also be too embarassed to show my face.

Just bad business on several levels. They had their marketing push a few months ago. If they still need money then it just is not going to get off the ground, especially if the whole system is flawed. Interesting. How will ICANN handle it?

Interesting. How will ICANN handle it?

It's actually not all that much of an improvement but here goes: "Travel condemned to die?

I hope Juan doesn’t mind but I put his posting thru FreeTranslation.com for those who do not speak Spanish.

It’s actually not all that much of an improvement but here goes:

“Travel condemned to die? Posted by: jpsueiro in Legal, Domains.Travel though was not al so much of the theme, surprises me to read a pair of articles Here and Here where the financial problem is exposed that is crossing Theglobe.com through its division Tralliance, responsible for the management of the domains.”

Footnote: FreeTranslation changed “Dominios” to Control but I know it should be “Domains”
so I made the adjustment.
