Pilgrim’s Picks for December 18

If you’ve not seen Fred Claus yet, I definitely recommend you head out to watch this great family movie. If you’re not able to do that, these marketing news links are your next best bet. 
- If you’ve been waiting for social media to take on the travel industry, your wait is over. Kango is launching its beta today and will help you sift through reviews and other information on hotels and activities.
- Google has a long way to go if it is to convince us to switch from Microsoft Office to Google Docs. 73% of Americans have never heard of the service and only 0.5% have made the switch to web-based applications.
- The first Google Android prototypes have been spotted in the wild.
- Google has invested an estimated $100 million in to Google Checkout and the company appears to be happy with the results–despite hardly making a dent on PayPal’s market share.
- The guys over at Distilled have compiled a list of 101 reputation management resources. Sweet!
- You can catch my video interview with WebProNews where I discuss my tips for competitive intelligence.

Thanks for the link, Andy!
Before anyone else points it out to poke fun at us, I should point out that there aren’t 101 links - more like half that.
It’s ‘Reputation Management 101′ as in ‘introduction’ rather than 101 links. Though it is a little ambiguous… Sorry for being confusing. Blame Duncan!

Good to be included in the list with Fed Claus
Actually I will probably be taking my wife to see that movie this week, thanks for the tip.
As for Kango, it is my other passion (besides my wife, who is just amazing)
We are creating a place to find virtually all the reviews and ratings for almost anything you want to do, it’s not all the way there of course (hence the “almost beta”) and so, if you would like to participate in the private beta, and help us to improve the site (especially if you have strong opinions about, for example, what makes a hotel “romantic” or a beach “family friendly”) we would love to have your help.
Thanks for the mention Andy!
