 Search engine giant Google took the travel industry by storm last week with a $700 million purchase of ITA Software, a flight-information software company.

The multi-million-dollar deal would not only put Google in direct competition with Web sites such as Kayak and Cheapflights.com, but it potentially could transform the online travel industry.

For several months, the rumor mill had been churning with news of Google’s interest in ITA, causing the travel industry’s key players to scramble to position themselves.

Several travel Web sites, including Kayak.com, threw in competing bids to buy the Boston-based ITA, but were outbid by Google.

Google’s purchase would give the company control of ITA’s ubiquitous flight pricing software, making Google a force to be reckoned with in the travel world.

ITA offers flight times, availabilities and prices to airlines and Web sites that include: TripAdvisor, Bing, Hotwire, Orbitz, Continental, American Airlines, and Alitalia.

Google says that their purchase of ITA will make it easier for consumers to find flight information online and give consumers more choices.

According to Google’s boss, Eric Schmidt, Google’s goal is to use ITA’s information to foster innovation in the travel industry rather than to sell tickets. Schmidt says that Google is also creating flight tools unlike any in existence that will change the way online travel works.

The purchase, however, would turn Google into a fierce competitor in the travel meta-search industry and could drive a stake through traditional, non-Internet flight booking outlets.

US regulatory authorities are also likely to keep a close eye on Google’s new deal to ensure that it is fair to competitors and consumers.

Though Google says it wants to preserve competition in the travel industry and has no plans to lock out competitors, only time will tell what this acquisition really means for online flight bookings.

Making your ugly newsletters more beautiful

By troyduff281

 Have you really taken a look at your newsletters lately? Sometimes people can get blind by how they manage their own color newsletter printing. They can sometimes overlook the fact that at certain times, their color newsletter printing is becoming ineffective, outdated and downright ugly to readers. So take a good look at your color newsletters and see if they need a tune up in their designs.

If you think your own newsletters do need a little help in the beauty department, then you are in luck because this guide will teach you how to remedy that. Below is a list of special tips that should make your old and ugly newsletters become more current and beautiful for readers. So let us get started right away with the first tip and that is managing the layout.

Cleaning out the layout configuration While creative layouts are good and innovative, it sometimes can have the wrong impression on readers and cause them to think it is ugly or downright amateurish. That is why it is important to try to clean out the layout of your newsletters whenever you can. I find it best to use newsletter templates that teach me the major sections where I should put articles, images and other important newsletter elements. These templates provide the best professional advice for newsletter printing layouts, so use them as a simple tool to beautify your newsletters.

Developing appealing color themes The ugliness of a typical newsletter can also be traced by bad color themes. Sometimes the color themes might just be outdated, while other times, it is just a product of really bad taste. So to help you develop great color themes for your newsletter printing, I recommend that you search online for sites that suggest color themes.

There are tons of sites on the Internet that have online algorithms that help you match certain color themes for your designs. You should typically pick one to three colors as the main color theme for your prints. Anything more than that and you are risking the beauty of your color newsletters again. So use those tools and discover how simple yet beautiful your color newsletters can be.

Making all your text more coherent Another source of ugliness sometimes in newsletter designs is the text styles. Typical newcomers to newsletter printing will use different fonts for different areas of the newsletter. This may sound great, but the truth is, it will make the newsletters ugly. They will look like a patchwork of different materials put together. So to make your newsletters more beautiful, it is good to stick with one or two font styles and nothing more. Trust me this works quite well.

Improving image qualities Another big cause of ugliness in newsletter design are the images. Ugly newsletters typically have images that are either fuzzy, garishly colored or just plain old boring. That is why it is important to practice a little quality control in newsletter design and pick the right high quality images to use that will look good in printing. I recommend that you use high resolution images to make sure that your pictures look crisp and clear for your newsletters. Of course, you should also avoid all kinds of clip-arts at all cost since that will definitely make your newsletters amateurish and ugly looking.

Improving paper quality Finally, to add that finishing beauty touch for color newsletters, you will want to improve its paper quality. Sometimes all it takes is to use great paper materials to make a design look great. Try to choose materials that have aqueous coatings or special glossy finishes to add that gleam effect that makes designs and color newsletters look really beautiful indeed.

Great! Why dont you try all these beauty tips in newsletter printing now? You will feel the great difference in your designs afterward, trust me.
