Re: UKNM: Lastminute.com...website or webhype?

not really overhyped...compared to Boo (who)


When will people learn that consumers either online or not want good value

for money, not flashy graphics.

millennium visit to the UK.  I heard a radio ad urging me to "do something

lastminute.com".  I'd already head about how the UK web industry had been

wowed by the Lastminute.com phenomena but I have to say I was seriously

underwhelmed.

 > Maybe I'd been misled, but I thought the site was supposed to have loads

of choice and fantastic deals(??)  Once the thing actually downloaded, there

were a few mundane hotel offers at none-to-enticing rates, and some 'once in

a lifetime events' and the kinda prices it'd take a lifetime to afford.

 > Anyway I had a great New Year's Eve in London, so it didn't matter too

much in the end.  But is that site really the standard bearer of New Media

in the UK???? my New Year's message is a quote from a group with a name that

describes what I will probably be after dissing Lastminute.com on this

list....Don't believe the hype.
