Boo.com is back!

Remember Boo.com? Maybe? Maybe Not? depends on how long you’ve been around! 😉

Boo.com was a United Kingdom Internet company founded by Ernst Malmsten, Kajsa Leander and Patrik Hedelin that famously went bust following the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. Boo.com’s intention was to sell branded fashion wear over the Internet; however, after spending vast sums of its venture capital, it eventually had to liquidate and was placed into receivership on May 18, 2000. Web Reservations International now owns boo.com. 

Well do I have news for you, Boo.com is back!

Web Reservations International have brought boo.com back in web 2.0 style. It is now a travel site with destination reviews, sightseeing, bars and restaurant listings and reviews and places to stay. An interesting feature is that you can book on boo or directly with the hotel. However Miss Boo and the Boo Crew are as yet not in evidence. When the new site launched, it already had more than one million user reviews which had been collected from existing WRI travel sites.
