The old post started like this...
"Musings talked earlier today about the new Virgin Atlantic social network - VTravelled - which is expected to launch in the next month or so.
"Not wanting to miss out on the excitement, we have our two-pennies worth to pitch in.
"We are unsure if these grabs are proofs of concept, final designs or some other pitch materials, but the following images are certainly extremely interesting."
That was a few days ago.
We then went on to mention how some elements of the grabs were, shall we say, rather interesting as they hinted at a number of commercial tie-ins for the Virgin Atlantic social network, namely a widget for a low-cost carrier and an online travel agency.
Our understanding is that the designs will not be used for the VTravelled project.
Since then and following discussions with members of the legal profession representing a number of parties, we have removed the original pictures TEMPORARILY.
For those that missed out here they are again, but modified heavily of course...
From these screenshots we can see that not even Virgin have resisted the magnetic attraction of the word "trip"
Well certainly can't fault the looks of it! Will be interesting to see how this goes for them. Getting that number of members would be impressive although I guess if they advertise across all their sites they could maybe do it. Question then being if it's worth the lost ad space :) In any case it's good to see some fresh competition. There was none of that yet in the space! ;)
Nice design
Hope they will not fail as many Travel Corporate Community and find some original community manager to manage the dayly operation.
Will see.
so why wouldn't they integrate whozintown.com as their global business travel vehicle?
