Wired.com just published a great piece called “Casting the Net For Better Airfares”, giving a huge play to Minneapolis-based fare search site Flyspy.com, which is still only in alpha! This is amazing. My compliments to my friend Robert Metcalf, who came up with the idea for Flyspy two years ago. But he hasn’t sought out this media attention — they find him. For a company that isn’t even launched yet, to be getting this kind of coverage is hardly the norm. [Other major major media outlets are just waiting, too, till the full beta is launched.]
It all started with a piece on TechCrunch in February, then another mention there a few months later, plus a blurb in Fast Company magazine last month (among others mentions along the way).
Watch for more from me soon on Flyspy, which I’ve actually been working on for some time, including an interview with Robert. A lot of people are waiting for this launch, that’s for sure.
..This is amazing.
