Can't wait to see where you take this project and the spinoff's.

@Allyn, You got the right idea. Our goal is to make the user exp super quick and easy for everyone especially the people on the go. We have some pretty cool ideas in the works (including an affiliate program) that I really cant wait to get going.

@Lissie, You are correct the search form isn't really up to snuff for the international visitors and is on my list to fix a.s.a.p. I am glad you found the update on FB and stopped by to check it out.

Search by price is also coming soon because I use that type of sorting all of the time. And don't forget soon down the road their will be an affiliate program

Anyway – nice site – Allyn – it does include international – but its not obvious from the front page -just enter a city like Sydney

Josh – the Australian state codes aren't 2 letter – Sydney, NW looks really, really weird – it should be NSW, Perth is WA not WT the other states are Qld, NT, SA, Tas – pain to parse I know.

Also some of us a cheap bastards – I always like a search by price …

1) the wife and I often go downtown Chicago to hang out, shop, eat, drink, etc. More times than I can count, a single day trip went long and we ended up having to get a hotel downtown. This always ends up costing a lot because we basically just have to walk in somewhere and pay the going rate that day. But utilizing your service, i can just ring it up on my Blackberry, view choices, book and walk inside and checkin… now THAT is cool.

2) we like to drive south to see my family in Florida every summer. I know that most times, if things go well on the journey, I can make it from my house in Chicago area to about Knoxville, Tenn comfortably on day one. But I can't book a hotel ahead of time because you never know if: a) I will actually make it that far… like if we decide to stop in Corbin, KY on the way and see the Colonel Sanders Museum for example… then I'd not make it all the way to Knoxville and lose my reservation. b) if I really "get on it" and we go way past Knoxville and i don't wanna stop,,, same issue.

Now, with Who's Got Room I can just break out the wireless air card for the laptop, or once again, use the blackberry, and get a hotel on the spot wherever I happen to be.

Those are two ways that I will def be using your site Josh. BTW– good to see you back and in the public eye. I kinda had a hunch that you were doing something big, but not this big, You are going up against the big boys and I really wish you the best. now, if you could just get William Shatner to do your commercials, you'd be all set!!!!

PS–affiliate program in the works? How about International hotels?

I will Tweet this to my 9 followers, LOL
