BestofBarcelona goes interactive

Welcome to the BestofBarcelona blog. The website has been up and running for a while. The BestofBarcelona concept was first discussed back in 2001 - but when I picked up a copy of Bestof Mapas/Bcn the other day, I realised that the concept is universal and others are building on it.

First off there's an important difference between Bestof Mapas/Bcn - a giveaway map promoting a series of establishments and www.bestofbarcelona.com. Theirs is a completely commercial endeavour - all the establishments have paid to advertise - defining the "best" as those who pay their bills. In contrast - the bestofbarcelona website doesn't seek advertising support from those included in its listings. In fact, most of them are unaware of the site until people visit their establishment and tell them that they are listed.

Okay, I've recently introduced some affiliate advertising - although the amazon ads have yet to generate any commissions, so I may just delete them.

Anyway, my aim with the blogspot is to add some news to the site - It's easier than updating the site itself and allows for visitors to add their comments.

Happy reading

BestofBarcelona
