Well the time has come for me to end my online silence and share with you my biggest digital undertaking to date. Today I present to you Who’s Got Room? Corp (www.whosgotroom.com) The quick and easy way to book hotels! Really, you can book a room anywhere at any time in three steps using Who’s Got Room? Click on the thumbnail below or just visit the site to take a look.

This project was conceived in February and has slowly been taking shape. Who’s Got Room? is a website for people to find the best deal on lodging right now. Our focus has been to provide people with the ability to find a hotel room on the go, quickly and easily.

Who’s Got Room? in its current form is only a scratch on the surface to what we are building. As of now our site is not much different than most of the other Hotel travel sites online. With that said this is not our primary goal but just our starting point. Throughout the next year we have multiple niche lines of services coming to benefit various kinds of people and organizations needing solutions to their Hotel and lodging demands.

I’d love to bore you all with what is coming but I am sticking to what is here already. Our entire focus is towards people needing rooms right now as well as for people on the move. Not long after this post goes live the mobile version of our site will be functioning for people with web enabled phones/PDAs.

In the beginning, when everything was manual and there was no way for us to make money off the service we thought that it would be just a cool idea to list hotels based on availability “right now.” Soon we realized it was too much to ask for hotels to constantly update their current availability so the site quickly lost relevance. I wish I would have figured this out before I called all the Fargo Hotels (now if only I ranked for my hometown…) to get them added onto our site. So we scoured for a suitable partner including all of the other good stuff like begging for money and figuring ways to cut costs and still make the site function.

When you find yourself in need for a Hotel don’t hesitate to use Who’s Got Room? With our Low Rate Guarantee you have absolutely nothing to lose. Overall I couldn’t be more excited and I really can’t wait for the additions to come as they are going to rock your world at some point. So stay tuned and remember Who’s Got Room?

Of course it goes without saying that I appreciate all your feed back and comments about the site.

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.
