We found all informations on <a href="http://www.amstetdam.info" rel="nofollow">amsterdam.info</a>. Amsterdam it is a very beautiful town and the museums are great. But with the exchange rate as it is, we found it very expensive. Some museums were closed for refurbishment, but the views of the canals and hi-lights such as the Anne Frank House and the Artis Zoo (an old-fashioned place with a great array of animals kept in somewhat cramped conditions) are very memorable. The food is awful unless you want to spend a great deal of money and there is a cynical attitude to tourists that is very out of date (e.g. tapas marinaded pork was one slice of fried bacon on 1/2 a bread roll). We stayed in the serviceable but expensive Singel Hotel which was okay but its close proximity to a red light area made going out with the children awkward and there really was nothing charming or liberated about hurrying past the ladies in the windows. The same is true of the legal dope selling 'coffee houses'. The whole bicycle thing is interesting. It is almost, but not quite, the eco-city of the future. Some cyclists are quite anarchic and we spent a fair bit of time dodging pavement mounted bad-tempered riders. Overall verdict was we were glad we'd been but wouldn't go again as it feels over priced, out of date and sleazy - not the cutting edge hip family friendly town it's sold as.

You didn't actually join the survey (because our chat was over cocktails, not the OMMU table!). It was a very unscientific poll, a couple of quick Qs scribbled on my notepad in 60 seconds! Several of the marketers asked the same question, and I tried to get them to think for the business as a whole (after all - social at its best can touch upon and boost the whole business, not just marketing). Also - you're right about the comment form, I'll try to get it changed. Hi Suzanne – thanks for the comment!

You're so smooth. I'm wondering if the brand marketers you spoke to knew they were responding for the whole business, or, as we all tend to focus on our own roles, maybe they were answering with a more role-based response. On another note, this blog posting form is a grey background with white text- it was very hard to read and I have perfect eyesight.
