New Zealand hotel puts scans of guest book online
September 22, 2008
Weloveso.com is a nice public feedback idea from Hotel So, picked up by Guillaime at Hotel Blogs...
Seeing people's thoughts on page does give a sense of authenticity, which is something it has over TripAdvisor.
What it doesn't have over TripAdvisor, obviously, is that the hotel is in charge of what goes up - and maybe it's just an A1 hotel, but you'll struggle to find any negative comments here.

Mm I like the idea but signatures online, isn't there any data protection issue here? I wonder if the customers gave them permission.

There's a box on the far right of the page saying 'can we use this online', so the hotel is asking permission. Though it isn't clear whether it is informing its guests that the entry will be presented as a straight scan.
Do people bother with their proper signature on guestbooks though? I normally just print my name.
