    I agree w/JMB; just VIPs is far too restrictive. We would have missed great blogs from Daniel Boldea and others who are legitimate contributors.

    I like the idea of having Diane do a live chat for the Luxury Link 15th Anniversary.

    I'll figure out a question and pass it along.....no FB for me.
  2. ichris
    Ω: I've passed this on to the Marketing and Product teams. I know they've already scheduled several live chats for the next few months so we'll see whether this pans out. Many thanks for sending this along!

    Would you like to arrange a live chat with the General Manager of Aranwa Hotels? He is interested in participating.
