  Holiday Watchdog Acquired by Tripadvisor
As we are talking about acquisitions today, its great to read over at Frasers blog that Chris Clarkson and Chris Brown have reached a deal with Tripadvisor to buy their highly regarded Holiday Watchdog site.

I believe this is the second and third forum member to have a site acquired by Tripadvisor. Duncan Jennnings site Travel Libray was acquired in 2006.

Congratulations all round!

Congratulations on firstly building, from scratch, a fabulous website and secondly for acheiving such a high profile exit.

Inspiration for us all. Well done guys.

Time to use your 'holiday expertise' to the full I think! Enjoy!

  Re: Holiday Watchdog Acquired by Tripadvisor
Seems to have been announced officially now.
Press releases - TripAdvisor

Very well done and well deserved ChrisC and ChrisB.

I guess the A4Uexpo session "The Interactive Insiders guide to selling your web business" proved very useful - all that due diligence stuff etc.
