I have been working on a lot of fun projects.

In January, a local group of hotels asked me to speak about digital marketing and advertising techniques. I included my presentation below but need to warn you that you will probably need headphones to hear it. The next time I do a presentation, I will amp up the volume.

At the end of the presentation I talk about a new site / service we created. My goal was help connect the hotel industry with people looking for hotel rooms. I wanted to create something that all hotels could be a part of and equally benefit everyone involved. So without further adieu I introduce to you WhosGotRoom.com the easy way to find a hotel room.

The goal of Who’s Got Room is to help people find a hotel room in any town immediately. At the same time, we want to help hotels fill their empty rooms.

The site has a lot of work ahead and not many hotels are in the system yet. But as the site grows, people will be able to find available hotel rooms wherever they travel. Instead of just being able to find a hotels in Fargo, ND, or a hotels in Ashland, NH, you will be able to search any city for available hotel rooms.

Who’s Got Room lists the most recently updated hotels first in order to provide the most relevant information possible. If you are driving across the country, the site allows you to know what hotels ahead have available rooms. If a snowstorm comes while you are driving down the interstate, you won’t have to call 10 different hotels to know what’s available. Or perhaps you neglected to get a room early when attending a concert on New Year’s Eve. Who’s Got Room can help. You get the idea.

Nine times out of 10, hotels will have availability in the area you are questioning. But that isn’t always the case, and you never know if you are heading to a town without rooms. For that, you now have Who’s Got Room.

The site is in BETA and liable to break, which we encourage. Give us your feedback and tell us your thoughts. We’d love to hear them.
