Rajul, I agree with you. Companies are slowly starting to "get it" and that we, as bloggers, have an important role to play. Delivering quality content and building communities today; becoming consultants tomorrow! That's one of the many ways how I see our role evolving. Cheers, Keith Thank you for your comments!

I'm noticing that more and more companies are "getting it" that it's about creating useful and inspiring travel content first, the bookings will then follow. I think in this respect we bloggers have a duty to set an example and hope that companies follow our lead and provide valuable info, not just sales pitches! Keep up the great work, have also just followed you on Twitter (@londonhoteltips). This is an awesome list: thank you!
