Google Hotel Finder (Weekly article n°1)

A new actor appears on the web: no more and no less that the expected Google. It has the potential to revolutionize the series of hotel distribution and influence the other interpreters to redefine their role.

The hotel search engine proposed by Google is now available in French. Launched in August, 2011, Google Hotel Finder gradually spread the number of available hotels and the languages in which it was proposed to the Internet users. This engine of hotels proposes a géolocalisée research, pictures as well. The latter are extracted from Google Places, from travel guides acquired by Google these last two years as Zagat or Frommers, but also from sites of hotel reservation as Booking.com or TripAdvisor.

Will the general public accept it? Will it alter the development of the argument or it will limit itself to a small unimportant role?
