happynews.com

The Netherlands Board Of Tourism & Conventions has announced the launch of http://us.holland.com, a fully Web2.0 based site, as well as the official launch of the world's first National Tourism Board in Second Life, www.hollandsecondlife.com.

The new Holland.com is a fully web2.0 based website. It offers a quick and easy way to find information about travel to Holland, but also invites users to be part of an interactive Dutch travel community. Registered users are a valuable piece of this mutually beneficial community and permit you to share first-hand information about your past trips and contribute articles, videos and images, allowing the site to evolve and strengthen on a continuous basis.

Not only do users contribute content, but the site automates content collection through XML and RSS feeds, such as Google news, Yahoo Travel, Flickr and YouTube. Furthermore, by rating and commenting on virtually everything throughout the site, users force the most informative content to become prominent and useful for everyone.

Special features for registered users include:
* My Suitcase, a personal archive of your favorite content on Holland.com saved by a simple click of the mouse.
* Print a Brochure, allowing you to convert the items from your suitcase into a printable format to take with you on your travels.
* Tagging, by tagging entities you participate in the Tag Cloud system of navigation. Your tagging will reveal what types of entities on the site our users favor and it will encourage more detailed information about these subjects to be revealed.
* The best Travel Deals, try our Deals page for the latest Holland vacation packages and when you are searching for the best fare, try our Kayak.com fare locator.
* Subscriptions, bookmark your favorite users to be alerted when they have posted new content.
* Messaging, send messages to other users through the website as a safe method of communication without revealing your personal email.
* Customizable Profiles, including profile images.
* Access to any features that Holland.com releases in the future.

Registering is fast and easy, it only takes seconds.
