Hello again Lovely Innkeepers!
I hope everyone is all ready for the holidays! A couple of changes that are new in social media that might be of interest, one Pinterest rolled out business accounts, Linkedin rolled out new personal profiles and Google+ has rolled out Communities. If you are interested in checking out a community, we have started on just for innkeepers:

New LinkedIn Profile: How To Navigate And What’s Changed
Google Launches Its Answer To Facebook Groups: Google+ Communities
Yes folks, the horror has come to pass, Tripadvisor stickers on passenger cars.
