			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Die deutsche Internet-Touristikerszene hat sich an diesem Wochenende in Eichstätt bei Ingolstadt versammelt um sich in Form eines Barcamps auszutauschen.  Das sogenannte Tourismuscamp war sehr interessant und mitunter auch kontrovers. Ich habe bei folgenden Sessions beigewohnt:</p>
<ul>
<li>Studie der FH Worms zur Zukunft von Reisebüros im Internet</li>
<li>Beauty24: Ansätze zu Kooperationen mit E-travel webseiten</li>
<li>Ideacamp: Neue Ideen zu Websites mit touristischen Inhalten</li>
<li>Blog vs. Destinationsportal: Welchen Mehrwert bringen Blogger für Destinationsportale im Vergleich zu Werbung in Standardmedien</li>
<li>Travel Mobile: Worin liegen die Chancen und Hemmschwellen für Touristiker im mobilen Internet</li>
</ul>
<p>Zusätzlich habe ich selber eine Session zum &#8220;Long Tail of Travel&#8221; gehalten, welche auf sehr gute Ressonanz gestossen ist. An dieser Stelle ein grosses Danke an alle Teilnehmer. Ein interessanter Trend dieses Tourismuscamps ist in jedem Fall, dass die grossen Destinationsportale verstärkt auf die &#8220;neuen&#8221; Webmedien aufmerksam geworden sind und Kooperationen mit Content Providern suchen.</p>
<p>Interessante, neuere Projekte kurz vorgestellt:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tripwolf: Web 2.0 Online Reiseführer mit einer hälfte User generated Content und einer Hälfte profesionellen Einträgen aus Reiseführern des Verlagshauses Mair DuMont, welches auch als strategischer Investor tätig ist. Das junge Team arbeitet in Budapest, Wien und San Francisco.</li>
<li>TripsByTips: Analog zu Tripwolf, TripAdvisor und Co können User Bewertungen zu Hotels, Sehenswürdigkeiten und anderen Reiseinhalten verfassen. Das Start-Up ist von Burda Digital Ventures finanziert. Gründer und CEO Uwe Frehrs hat im touristischen Bereich bereits das Luxussegment Hotel Portal Escapio gegründet.</li>
<li>Travel Mobile: Hierzu gab es noch keine konkrete Firma, aber mehrere Teilnehmer des Tourismuscamps haben die Absicht geäussert in nächster Zeit in diesem Bereich aktiv zu werden. Ein Business Modell ist es Reiseführer mobil mit Bezug auf die Geo Koordinaten verfügbar zu machen.</li>
</ul>
<p>Mehr Details folgen morgen. Jetzt muss ich zur DLD nach München abfahren, bin schon gespannt auf das Internet-Event des Jahres ;-)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.imedo.de/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-149" title="Imedo" src="http://blog.getyourguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/logo-imedo.gif" alt="" width="190" height="90" /></a>Recently, I came across a pretty cool website called <a href="http://www.imedo.de">imedo.de</a>, which is a German Web 2.0 platform for people that want to share information on medical issues. I believe it is a quite fascinating and ambitious project that I expect to proove very valuable in the future. As Web 2.0 gets more professional, the argument that the &#8220;holy grail&#8221; of medicine should not be subject of discussions on the Internet is no longer valid.</p>
<p>Following I will discuss some of my thoughts about the concept.<span id="more-147"></span></p>
<h3>The Pros</h3>
<ol>
<li>Current trends (see for instance <a href="http://www.awa-online.de">Allensbach</a> research) propose that in the near future user reviews on the Internet will be far more valuable compared to traditional reviews in print media or on TV. Why bother consulting your local pharmacist and skimming through dozens of healthcare brochures, if you can simply ask the community? Searching for a specific doctor or expert, evaluating a treatment, or simply acquiring information on how to prevent disease are fantastic features.</li>
<li>Furthermore the concept can be monetized. For instance there could be charges, if you are a doctor or pharmacy and want to have a premium account on the platform. You could even go as far as giving &#8220;chat consultations&#8221; on the platform or receiving SMS notifications on doctor appointments or treatments (e.g.: drug intake). Also, there is room for a possible cooperation with an online pharmacy or you could even enable your clients to sell items on their profiles.</li>
</ol>
<h3>The Obsctacles to overcome</h3>
<ol>
<li>The most feasible clients (&gt;60 years old) are mostly not as acquainted with the Internet or the Web 2.0. At GetYourGuide we have made similar experiences, as many guides and tour operators fall into the same category. However, we believe that this problem is only a question of time&#8230;</li>
<li>Are people really ready to share medical information online? Although Google also launched a service, where users can upload medical records, the US should not be taken for Germany when it comes to data security. A critical question will be on how Imedo will be able to convince the rather Internet averse doctors and pharmacists to join their service. There will have to be thorough incentive programs and definitely the site should concentrate on building rigorous quality &amp; privacy ensuring mechanisms.</li>
</ol>
<p>Although there is still a good way to go for imedo, I am looking forward to see how their services develop and what the key functions will proove to be.</p>
