Why did I cave?

The biggest reason, quite simply, is Twitter-related.

We 'tweet' a number of Priceline tips and tricks to help would-be hotel bidders, but find Twitter's 140 character constraint on tweets to be too...constraining. ;)

We can now post much more detailed Priceline tips to help users formulate better Priceline bidding strategies; we can now post screenshots to walk people through the steps we take before placing Priceline bids; we can now give real-world examples of people using our winning bid database (link) to determine precisely how much to bid for a particular city, state, or destination.

Once we finish polishing the new BidLessTravel Blog and work out all the kinks, we plan to post weekly Priceline tips and merely tweet the announcement of new posts, rather than try to discuss advanced bidding techniques in 140 characters or less.
